The materials being requested for this project will help build a better learning environment for my students and myself. I will be able to download current apps and features to enhance learning while my students are home. I will be able to continue to give students emotional support from home. They will be able to use techniques to help them focus and be productive. They will be able to attend daily meetings that teacher meditation and goal sighting. Technology is key to reaching my students. It is the only source of communication we have right now. I need to be able to have their attention with no disruptions. Having to restart my computer multiple times during a lesson does not help them learn. I can also help my students with stress relief by doing mindful meditation. This is a stressful time and we need to provide many opportunities to provide these students with coping techniques to do well during the pandemic. Please consider helping my class out. This will eventually be the class computer when we go back to in person learning.
