My Students

My students come to school ready to work hard every day. Many come from the same neighborhoods and ride the same bus. They know each other quite well, so I am the "new kid on the block" when the school year starts.

By October, we are all one big family that works hard and plays hard.

We laugh and share, but at times, struggle to keep the peace. However, each child always knows that our classroom family is there to support each other know matter what our needs of the day might be.

My Project

The headphones I'm requesting will help my students concentrate on their digital experiences during class research projects and curriculum enriching programs. Often our students bring "dollar" aisle headphones that quickly fall apart and are rendered useless within a month into the school year.

The few pairs of headphones that I have to offer are in high demand.

My students families are reluctant to spend their own limited funds on the quality headphones that are needed in the classrooms of today.

Dry erase markers help with daily practice while lowering paper needs. We practice our literacy and math skills daily with our dry-erase boards and markers. Thank you for your support!
