My Students

My students are amazing. They live in a small town in Arizona and therefore do not have all the opportunities that come with living in a more populated area. They love life though, and just want to soak up any knowledge that comes there why.

These are some of the most amazing kids that I have met.

They love just about anything I can throw at them. They live in a beautiful part of this amazing country yet it quite isolated. which makes some parts of education tricky, yet they roll with the punches and enjoy life to the fullest.

My Project

The chairs we have now in my classroom are slowly falling apart. The seats and cracking and breaking making them unusable. The school has had them for many years. Replacing a classroom full of chairs in costly. The chairs now are not very comfortable or sturdy. The chairs I am requesting are study and much more comfortable but will also last for an extremely long time. The chairs I am requesting now will serve many classes for many years not just the class I have this year.

Having chairs that are study and more comfortable will help the students to have a better learning experience.
