My Project

In my Geometry classroom, learning goes beyond the screen. My students need extra support with technology in the form of accessible charging stations and supplemental charging cords to keep their school devices powered up for online exploration. But that’s just one piece of the puzzle!

Beyond digital learning, we engage in hands-on activities that bring Geometry to life.

With compasses, whiteboards, and graph paper, students actively explore geometric concepts in a way that makes math both meaningful and fun. These tools are essential for daily lessons, allowing students to interact with mathematics dynamically and creatively. By providing these resources, I can ensure that every student has the materials they need to fully participate and thrive in our learning environment.

My goal is to create a classroom that is fully equipped to meet the needs of my students, ensuring they have every opportunity to engage with Geometry in a way that excites and motivates them. Whether working on a hands-on activity, solving problems collaboratively, or using technology to enhance their understanding, I want my students to feel supported and empowered every step of the way.

My students are incredible. They are hardworking and eager to learn. They apply themselves every day, striving for success and showing resilience in their studies. With the right tools and resources, I know they can achieve amazing things. They deserve all the support in the world, and this project will help provide them with the environment they need to reach their highest potential.
