My Project

My students are huge smarties. But they need fuel to keep those brains working. We have a late lunch at 12:45 and so it is important for them to have a morning snack. These snacks will be given out daily. It helps them to keep learning, have better behavior, and get assignments done quickly.

A sharp pencil leads to sharp learning.

We need a pencil sharpener in our classroom so that the students can sharpen their two pencils daily. Sharper pencils helps them to finish their assignments quicker and with more precision.

A printer in the classroom is needed for the students and me. I can print out extension assignments for the fast finishers quickly. The students can also print the work that they do online. Having a printer will be the next step in learning.
