That Specials On A Cart Life!

Help me give my students a good education from a cart! Next year I will not have a classroom while teaching Spanish to k-6 graders. I need to be able to be as mobile as possible.

My Project

I have been a teacher throughout the pandemic, before, and will continue after. I have been through virtual, asynchronous, hybrid, in person, and back again. I know what tools I can use to be successful in all these situations and consistency and mobility are the key! With this project I will be prepared for years to come. I will be teaching off a cart, which is no walk in the park, but with this I can be a more efficient specials teacher. Thank you for your support from the bottom of my heart!
