My Students

We are the "Olympic Learners", ready for the challenges, accepting and respecting our diversities and overcoming all obstacles!

My students make up a small group of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade energetic,diverse learners.

The class make up consists of two girls and eight boys. At our school, we are always striving to reach academic excellence! We provide our students with a rich curriculum and engaging, fun activities that allow them to explore and experience academic success. We are a unique group!

My Project

The projector will aid me in reaching my visual learners and spark excitement about the instructions. In addition, a projector will also help them to visualize their lessons, as well as engage them in the learning process and foster a greater sense of comprehension. Donations to this project will improve my classroom by providing my students with a connection to the verbal lecture through a visual aid that sparks interest and discussion through visual engagement.

When learning, my students rely on all modalities for comprehension.

The use of a projector (for presentations) along with lectures, help them to better understand the subject matter and apply it when working independently or in small groups.
