My Students

I teach a wonderful group of seventh-grade students in a high needs school in the western part of North Carolina. We are pushing 1,300 students to be the best scholarS that they can be!

My students come in eager to learn with the materials that we have for them.

The teachers at our school go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure every need of each child is met. Thank you in advance for helping our classroom.

My Project

I am very BIG on students being aware of financial literacy to the point where I have my students own their own bank accounts. The items listed in this project will help me "Level Up" my system I currently have. The Andriod POS scanner will be able to scan my inventory for what the students a purchasing as well as send them a receipt. The copy paper will help with printing out the students bank statements at the end of the month. In 7th-grade math we have several real-world application topics and I would like students to have the ability to write and work out their problems on their desk. The dry erase markers, cleaner, and cloths will be at disposal for my kids. Requesting the LED lights, chair and other organizational items will help set up our personal banking area in our classroom where students will be able to have access to the receipt book that was requested as well as deposit slips that I created. Thank you in advance for donating to our classroom!
