My Students

The past 2 school years have been far from normal and the impact on students is seen in many ways. This year my students have returned to the classroom, some for the first time in 18 months. As we adjust back to a school setting, it is more important than ever that they have materials to make the learning engaging!

All of my students are capable of greatness!

They can achieve anything they set their minds to as long as they persevere and have the support of myself and the community! Many of my students have gone through more in their lives than I can even imagine, but regardless of their previous experiences, they deserve to know how important they are!

9th grade is a crucial year for students as they transition to a whole new world: high school. They are discovering who they are and beginning to seriously think about who they want to be in the future. With your help, they can have the tools they need to succeed in my classroom and beyond! Thank you in advance for supporting my students!!

My Project

Participation in the virtual world looked different than it does in the classroom. My students are adjusting to speaking in front of others and sharing their answers on the board in front of a class again after a year of typing answers in the chat box.

The whiteboards will encourage total participation in class by allowing students a low pressure way to share their answers in class.

The yard sticks, protractors, and tape are other materials we will need to aid in our future math lessons. Our classroom is currently lacking some of these basic math supplies and your contributions will help us build up our class resources!
