My Students

The school I teach at is a small K-8 school in rural Northern California. The community is small, and most students go through all their school years together.

My students enjoy learning new skills.

They are excited about learning things outside the box - not worksheets! The enthusiasm my students have make me love my job!

Their love for learning is contagious. They love to read, write, and play outside. The excitement on their faces when they have mastered a skill is priceless.

My Project

My students will be able to use the PA system for many, many things. They love to share and a PA system will allow the students to be heard at the back of the classroom without having to yell.

Speaking in front of a crowd can be scary but not with a PA system that helps students project their voice and be heard.

The microphone headsets will allow my students to interact with activities on the computers and share what they have been working on.

My students will grow in confidence about speaking to their peers and others in large groups.
