My Project

I teach 3rd and 4th grade Math. My scholars are amazing, bright, and always ready to learn. I am teaching Math and Social Science. We spend time doing projects, lessons, personal learning.

Personal learning is an experience in which the students learning skills specific to them.

This is done in addition to grade level work. Headphones will keep students from being distracted by others computers around them so they can focus on the specific skills and goal they need. My Students would love to have their own headphones. Thank you
