My Students

I am privileged to teach 45 outstanding students. My students are very inquisitive, creative, and extremely clever. We are a Title I school where over two-thirds of the population receives free or reduced-price lunch. Even through adversity, these students are still resilient, excited, and enthused about learning.

Our school is very culturally diverse, extremely competitive, and we strive for excellence daily.

Willing, ready, and always trying to stand out above the rest, we need to produce competitive scholars for the future. We are shining stars and would love to shine with or above the rest.

My Project

How to keep students in the know of classroom expectations at all times? How to capture students attention as they enter the room? The answer is a LED display. Our classroom will be more efficient and innovative by getting a LED display for students. The students will be greeted will messages such as objectives, classroom announcements, birthday greetings, motivational and inspiring messages and many other uses.

The bright, vivid, attention-grabbing messages will definitely keep up with the latest technology used in the classroom.

The Apple Lightning Adapter will assist with adding information to and from the iPads. The charging cable are needed to keep devices going all day. These devices will be great added resources to aid with teacher student communication.
