My Project

Oh, how great it would be for teachers to have everything we needed to help students succeed? My two fourth grade classes are trying very hard to comprehend all of their academic skills. To have a printer, earphones for their tablets, and power surges to charge their devices, will be a tremendous help.

To begin, my students will benefit from having all of the learning equipment.

The printer will allow the teacher to print additional activities to help reinforce unmastered skills. Students need that extra practice to become proficient.

Next, providing my students with headphones and power surges will be very beneficial as well. These will assist the students during their designated times to use their tablets to practice skills, learn activities, and view videos. They need charged devices instead of waiting on other devices to get charged in the sockets. The headphones will allow my students to be fully engaged in learning.

Lastly, my goal for this project is to give my students the tools needed to master as many grade 4 skills as possible by providing the headphones, power surge strips, and printer. The students deserve this and more because they work so hard. They are eager to learn and very appreciative of all gifts.
