My Project

My students are so much fun, but they struggle to stay engaged because most of them have very limited diets and don't eat much. Snack time is an essential part of our day as they're motivated for snacks, and usually all the foods are foods that they enjoy. Dry erase markers and white boards help my students present their work on other modalities, but we go through many dry erase markers.

Snacks, dry erase markers, whiteboards, and a pencil sharperer are essencial to our classroom.

As my students continue to grow, giving them everything they need to continue to learn makes a world of difference.
