My Students

My students are very hardworking, and they have overcome many triumphs. My students deserve nothing but the best since they always give their all. The love and affection, the respect that my students display, models the character trait of humble individuals. My students always help throughout the school by helping others and keeping the campus clean. Last but not least, my students are very determined. Once they start something, they will ensure they finish with success. I have had students make test scores in the 90s and were disappointed at the results.

This shows me not only do I have high expectations of my students, but they also have high expectations for themselves.

This pushes them to strive for 100s on tests and do their best.

My Project

The incorporation of tablets in the classroom will allow my students to connect with the lesson more. They will be able to research, complete web quest, and participate in online labs. Many labs that my students need in order to be successful are very expensive. Online labs will allow my students the ability to participate in all labs required for high school.

STEM incorporation in my class will expand student engagement in STEM activities and careers.

Many of my students are low income and cannot afford to complete online assignments at home. Please help the future generation of tomorrow become an even better learner.
