My Project

My students will be comfortable knowing that they have most of the necessary supplies, to be successful, and comfortable In an environment conducive to learning and continuing to thrive.

The power tower charger and the tower surge protector power strip will keep all Chromebooks and communication devices charged up and ready to go at all times.

The markers will help with crafts and or projects that we may have in class. The rolling cart will house the charging station and the label maker will help me keep track of all wires and cables that belong to our classroom. The main chair in our classroom needs updating so bad. Once we concur on these issues we can relax and learn.

My goals are to help my children learn and be comfortable while succeeding with the updated supplies. I truly know we can achieve it. Every one of my students is unique, and that is simply what makes them special to me.
