These tools are going to help create a sense of normalcy while learning at home. In our normal classroom, we would have a giant whiteboard easily accessible so that every student can see what lesson is being taught. To create a classroom environment as close as to what you would find in a typical classroom, this project would allow me to bring elements from the classroom home. I want to create this setting inside my home so that I can still provide my students with the feeling of being back in school. When we are finally able to return to the classroom, these students will be able to recognize and continue their education journey with an easier transition. As they have already seen or interacted with these materials in some way, as we return to school there won't be a huge transition phase and we can dive back into the work we were doing. Making sure that they don't miss a beat as we get used to being back in a physical school. By having such things as a printer and paper, means that I can still create and print materials for students who need them. Students shouldn't have to miss out on a lesson because they don't have the right tools. Please help me bring everyday classroom tools into my home so that my students have some normalcy in such a crazy world.
