My Project

I may describe my students as resilient and versatile. Besides their determination and will to succeed in school. My kids have the determination to overcome any obstacle that may arise. Natural disasters like tornadoes and hurricanes are common in our state. We do drills on a monthly basis to prepare for such events. Natural disasters can strike at any time and wipe out everything in an instant.

My students will have to return to school with everything gone, and we will have to start over.

To begin over, my students may require a mobile computer laptop desk so that those who are unable to sit can still move around the classroom and learn. The iPad will be used at our intervention station. That is where my students who need extra attention and direct instruction can connect on to our learning platforms and work on their skill deficiencies. Snacks will help my children satisfy their hunger while they are at school for 80% of the day. We will use pens, pencils, paper, highlighters, and dry erase markers to complete assignments and participate in small group centers. They will utilize computer paper to print their tasks. All of these resources will help us get back on track and continue learning.
