My Students

This will be my first year teaching and I know I will have amazing students who are ready to learn! We are a title one school so we have a lot of low-income students. You will help by giving each student a flexible seating option that will only belong to them all school year will make social distancing better and make them feel more comfortable in the classroom!

My Project

Our students will be coming back to school scared and worried. Nothing will be the same. I am trying my best to make this year as normal as possible as well as give my students an opportunity for fun learning, even with this crazy mess. I would use these lap desk so each student can have one, this will allow students to be able to sit on the floor or we can take our learning outdoors for more space and a more fun environment! Please help my students have a normal school year!
