My Project

I am passionate about my students because they bring unique perspectives and boundless enthusiasm to our classroom every day. Each student has their own set of strengths and challenges, and it's my mission to provide the resources they need to succeed.

The LG 29" UltraWide monitor I am requesting will make a significant difference in their learning by offering enhanced visual clarity and the ability to view multiple documents simultaneously.

This is especially beneficial for students with disabilities, as it provides ample space to display social stories, behavior management plans, and coping strategies in a clear and accessible manner.

With this monitor, students will engage more effectively in social-emotional learning activities and complete reflections with greater ease. The large screen and high resolution will help them focus better and absorb information more thoroughly. Additionally, the monitor's smooth performance ensures that interactive lessons are seamless, reducing frustration and increasing engagement.

My goal for this project is to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student can thrive. This monitor will enhance their academic skills and support their emotional and social development.

What makes my students special is their resilience and willingness to learn. They come to class ready to tackle challenges head-on and inspire me every day with their growth and determination. By providing them with this state-of-the-art technology, we can give them the tools they need to continue their journey toward success.
