My Project

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to make some few upgrades in classroom this next school year.

I want my students to feel comfortable in classroom and have basic resources. I would love a comfy area for my students to have when they are doing independent work. I also hate that my students who don't have a water bottle cannot drink water so this water dispenser will be used for those students.

Believe it or not, not all students have cellphones but they do have Chromebooks. Students love to listen to music or watch history videos. However they don't have headphones or the ones I have easily break. This year I am asking for better quality headphones. I also am asking for basic school supplies for my students. I'm really excited for the next school year. I would appreciate any help! Thank you!

Ms. Zuniga
Grades 6-8
