My Project

My students come to school each day eager to learn and develop their academic skills. They strive to do their best during reading and math instruction. Due to their commitment to learning, we work closely together in small group settings and they also work in collaborative groups.

Having a MacBook to utilize during instructional time will help to enhance student learning and achievement.

My students use technology to complete assignments in class and utilize engaging interactive software programs.

Additionally, having technology in the classroom will aid in the completion of classroom assignments and assessments. My students practice math fact fluency and reading fluency utilizing technology. Therefore, having technology on hand will aid in academic achievement.
