My Project

My students are highly motivated. They ask questions, work hard, and are involved in class. The lessons taught in my class are highly interactive and mostly hands-on. The students remained engaged in activities that foster critical thinking skill that will prepare them for their future health cares.

My students show up everyday ready to learn during their 3 hour session with me.

The items on this wish list will help the students to stay focused during class time. Things like personal hygiene, hunger, and mental stress can cause a student to struggle that would otherwise be successful.
