My Project

I want to guarantee that all my students are successful in and out of the classroom. I am requesting earbuds, pencil toppers and sharpeners.

I realize we are in the digital age, but students often forget to bring their earbuds, so I like to have some earbuds ready to use so they don't waste time going to their lockers.

In addition, kids are always asking for erasers and my electric pencil sharpener is hit or miss.

I have the privilege of having students for a two period block. This really gives me a chance to get to know them better and focus on their needs. I want each student to have headphones to work on individual lessons because they are constantly losing theirs.
