My Project

In our class room, we are a diverse group, yet some of the best students. Some of us can easily stay focused and on task, but not organized, while others cannot stay focused or on task but are very organized. Then there are those that struggle with both. I plan to use the materials requested for assisting, not fixing, these issues.

The donations to this project will help my students stay on task, stay focused, stay organized and use their creativity.

All of these will help students in their learning experience.

By implementing these items, my students will give them the power to take ownership for the way they learn best. Whether it be the flexible seating or privacy shields they can learn. I believe all students can learn. It just takes some classroom improvements or modifications to reach them
