Sometimes It's Hard to Focus!

Help me give my students privacy desk folders to help them focus on their tests.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are anxious to show what they know when they take their tests, but with thirty or more students in their class, they can get distracted by students moving or by students finishing early.

These privacy folders will allow my students to have their own space for testing so they won't see their peers finish their tests and won't be distracted by other students moving.

It is so hard to learn with so many students in class and even harder when there are so many other people around when taking a test. These folders are the perfect solution so that my students can focus and show what they know.
