All of the headsets have kept my room calm, as students can work independently to access their online learning videos at their own pace. The cleaning supplies have made my classroom look top notch. I am able to clean up in my new classroom as needed to maintain an environment that all learners are eager to come into. The space is clean and sparkling!\r\nMy students are so happy that I have, what seems like an endless supply, of headphones- which don't seem to last very long! But they know they have the necessary supplies available to them to be successful in the Business class!\r\nThe students are appreciative of the bookshelf, where the books are nicely displayed- and not in boxes- so they have access to be able to foster their growth of their love for learning. The bookshelf fits nicely in the space!\r\nThe students are also grateful that I care about their learning environment- they appreciate that I wipe down their desks and clean up any messes that are made. The custodial crew is appreciative that I help to make their job easier as well.
