My Project

I instruct students in the 10th to 12th grade range. They are among the most intelligent students I am acquainted with. They have a strong work ethic, unwavering determination, and a steadfast commitment to acquiring knowledge in the field of Health Science. My students are enrolled in a specialized program at our school that focuses on Health Science. As part of this program, they learn extensively about the field of Health Science and, during their senior year, they participate in clinical rotations. The layout of our classroom resembles that of a hospital, where my students carry out various health-related duties on our patients.

Our area is prone to frequent weather disasters that can occur unexpectedly.

My kids are required to be constantly prepared, but if there is a local weather catastrophe, they will have to begin again. This implies gathering the fragments from the point at which we previously stopped. In order to facilitate the recovery of my students following such a catastrophic incident, it is imperative that they have access to a diverse range of resources. The whiteboards will serve as instructional aids during class sessions and will also be utilized by students during their clinical rotations. The pencil and pens will be utilized to fulfill their responsibilities. The folders will include their assignments. The highlighters will serve the purpose of emphasizing significant words and terms. Notebooks will serve as a medium for recording written notes. The snacks will be stored in our classroom closet, allowing children to conveniently access them as necessary. The iPad will serve as a tool for our senior individuals to input data throughout the completion of their clinical rounds.
