My Project

What I love about my students is their desire to to compete. We enjoy communicating and sharing ideas. We are a close knit community with a lot of love and a sense of pride. I love when they come in excited about today's lesson. These materials will have a profound impact on my students' emotional, academic, and athletic learning. At my school, there is a area where we have an inflatable projector. This will allow me to teach outside and not worry about an extension cord. The portable charge station will allow me to continue to teach and have these items close to my desk. I have had some item come up missing. This will help with loss control. The pens and earbuds will be used to enhance and maintain virtual learning at my school.

With your help, I will be able maximize blended and virtual learning in my classroom.
