My Project

Hi all! My name is Naveen (or 'Mr. Shah') and I am a new teacher with Teach For America, placed at a middle school on the island of O'ahu. I have just embarked on my first year teaching 7th-grade math and science.

It's only been three weeks, but I have already gotten to know an amazing group of students who have a ton of personality, are growing rapidly as young adults, and pick each other up whenever they can as part of a military community.

The school supplies, including graph paper, drawing paper, crayons, colored pencils, etc., help me provide a standard classroom experience as a new teacher.

Colored paper will be used to print notes and worksheets to help students stay organized. I plan to place them in the included cart with dates to allow students to locate any absence materials independently. The monitor will be for use at school to create materials for learning, including daily handouts and slideshows.

Doormats will be used to fend off the notorious red clay of Wahiawa. Mini-hoop is to introduce some fun into our routine... and perhaps the occasional 'no homework' shot.
