My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! Unfortunately they are virtual. But the good news is they will be returning after the Holidays in January.

Our school is nestled in an At-Risk community where our Scholars(students) live.

But they are ambitious and visionaries. We as teachers need a variety of things to help them reach their full potential in education. But we also need a safe and clean environment for students and teachers.

My Project

The materials in this project will be used to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and other winter time illnesses. We want our students to continue having a in person class environment. Mask and air purifiers help cleanse the air of germs and help stop the spread of them. Hand sanitizer and disinfectant spray help students hands and classroom materials stay clean. All of the materials in this project will help my classroom continue to be clean and safe. I would like to continue to give my students the in person classroom experience that they deserve.
