My Project

Hello! My students in Farmington Hills LOVE to read! Every Friday they get reading time, and they get so excited. They hate having to sit in desks during this period, but the only other option is to sit on the floor. They also are ALWAYS searching for outlets to plug in their Chromebook to read online, but can never find any open. Headphones are impossible to come by when they are listening to audiobooks, too.

These two bean bag chairs will help me start a reading nook for free reading periods, and the extension cords and headphones will keep there computers charged and audio books running!

These resources will be essential for evolving our classroom into a space for productive use of technology in 2023!
