My Students
Our school is in a town of less than twenty thousand and all of our students get free lunch. Our district has a great technology center where my kids have learned valuable skills in construction, auto tech, welding and more.
My students are great kids that happen to have learning difficulties.
As students with special needs, all of my kids have learning gaps. They all need individualized instruction to close the gap between where they are and where they need to be academically. Please help them continue to close their academic gaps so they will be ready for college and careers after graduation!
My Project
Cell phones in the classroom become more of distraction every year. The constant stream of notifications makes it very difficult for students to attend to instruction and learn. Even when students are required to put phones in a designated location in the room, they can still hear the vibration and see the screens light up with notifications.
Faraday bags block cellular, wi-fi, and Bluetooth signals so that phones are instantly silenced when put in the bag.
No vibrations! No sounds! No lights! Best of all, the student never has to hand over the phone to anyone else and risk damage to the phone. The student puts the phone in the bag when entering the classroom and closes the Velcro opening. Then, they put it where they like. After class, they take it out and leave the bag for the next student. Our school district has decided that all students will return for in-person learning in August. It is going to be an adjustment for us all. These bags will be one step in helping kids re-learn how to pay attention in class so they can get back to normal.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
