My Students

I am always looking for fun and new ways to engage my students in the classroom. My goal is to create students who want to be life long learners.

In our building which is 3rd through 6th grade, 66% of our students are economically disadvantaged.

You would never know this looking at my students in my classroom. They come in every day ready to learn something new with a smile on their face. I am so proud to say that I teach in our school district.

My Project

Getting my students attention all day can be a challenge and exhausting. By the end of the week my voice is usually gone. Having a microphone in my classroom will not only help my voice, but ensure everyone is engaged at all time. Having a microphone system in my classroom helps classroom management and participation by making sure everyone can hear you.

Also Matchbox has the first microphone you can throw.

You can make sure everyone has a chance to talk, and all students can hear them when you throw them their microphone.

I am always looking for a way to engage my students, and allow everyones voice to be heard.
