My Students

I love that my students are determined, focused, and love to learn. I also have the students that enjoy new things, virtual learning, and answering questions. These students are amazing, but there are quite a few of them this year.

One of my favorite parts of teaching is when my students have a lightbulb moment.

It's when they understand a topic or example after not understanding things up to that point, they turn there mindset to, "I can do it!" This helps them too. We are also working on asking questions and trying to help others who need our help as well.

I love that my students don't give up, and they keep working! I have FANTASTIC students this year!

My Project

Over the past couple years, my classroom has dwindled in supplies. Our library is pretty small and students are having trouble finding things that they are interested in. Once they find things the classroom doesn't really have comfy places for them to sit outside of their desk. These items should help quite a bit on both of those concerns for my students.

The other hardship for my students is their headphones are always finding way to break and have issues.

The ones we will be getting from this donor choose will help them and they will be able to succeed in style!

The other items in the cart are to help me, as their teacher be successful. We go through markers so fast in the classroom, because I have the visual student learners. This will also help them as well.

Again, help my students be amazing readers, be successful with their technology, and help me be successful to teach these visual learners!
