My Students

My students are growing learners who need additional support to spark and ignite their curiosity and love of learning. Some have struggled within a typical classroom all of their educational careers. At my school, our team of teachers hopes to break that cycle by using engaging projects, innovative teaching, instructional technologies, and partnering with businesses to offer more authentic learning experiences. We hope to help our students become the future boost the area needs to open new businesses and bring new ideas to make it the booming beacon it once was.

My students have great potential to be the change our area needs.

However, we need to continue to challenge and enrich their learning environment. By having project-based learning as our main focus to try and re-engage and enrich their learning, we also need to meet their other demands. We need to foster within them to independently seek out challenges and persevere through them. We need to develop within them the ability to become lifelong learners. By offering a variety of opportunities, we can help these students become well-rounded individuals.

My Project

This project is for bookshelves, earbuds, and refreshing our Gatorade snack supply. The bookshelves will make our library books easily accessible to students so they can find their favorite books or find new interests with ease! The earbuds are for individual use. Students will be able to have an assigned pair of earbuds for watching educational materials or having music to help them focus during independent work time. The Gatorade is a hit in the snack closet and has sadly run out. This will keep them fueled and energized for the rest of the of the day.

All of these supplies will help our students pursue interests, passions, and deeper learning!
