My Project

I have picked a variety of books, games, storage and snacks. I am on a mission to get my students more engaged, I as of now am lacking with books and storage. With the snacks, I plan to use them as incentives with the students. The Alexa will be great for brain breaks to help keep the students attention.

I am a full time substitute teacher that has been placed in a 1st grade classroom.

I am slowly collecting things I feel are needed for my students to get the education they need and deserve.
