My Students

My students are AMAZING! They work hard, are inquisitive and creative. Today's world is filled with so many distractions, I want to create a classroom that limits those distractions and teaches students to organize their time and work properly.

Help me make my classroom functional and more inviting by providing my students with the supplies they need to be successful.

I want to enhance our learning environment by decreasing unnecessary movement, harsh lighting and cell phone use in my room. Thank you!

My Project

Help me create a cell phone charging station where students can secure their phones at the beginning of class. Our world is filled with distractions and one of the biggest for high school students is their cell phone.

I want to create a classroom that is functional and comfortable for my students by decreasing the amount of distractions they experience.

The headphones and wireless mouse will enhance our current technology which will lead to more student engagement and student driven learning. These items will also decrease distractions by quieting the lessons students do independently.

The lighting and motivational wall art are being requested to enhance our learning environment and make students feel more comfortable while working. Having multiple pencil sharpeners will cut down on wait time and unnecessary movement throughout the room. All together, these materials will decrease the overall distractions that interrupt student learning. Thank you!
