My Students

My students are working hard to do school in such a crazy time. They are learning to communicate with me through email, or in Zoom meetings. They are driving up to the school to pick up a physical copy of a textbook when they realize that that is what they need to learn best.

I am so proud of my students as they show up first thing in the morning, still in pajamas, to join my class together on Zoom.

They maintain a sense of humor; they humor me by answering my trivia questions. They send me pictures for my "Pet of the Week" contest. They are good kids who deserve the best I can give them.

My Project

We have about one-third of our students back at school and we get the regular progress reports, report cards, and failure letters to pass out in class. Since most of those students are learning from home, I eventually need to dispose of them. It's unsafe to throw them in the trash, so I would like to have a classroom shredder to get rid of such paperwork without sensitive information getting out there.

Many times students don't have headphones to listen to Zoom meetings or class-related videos at school and have to wait until they get home.

In particular, we had several Career Day speakers come to our Zoom meetings and students, if they missed the Zoom meetings, couldn't watch the recordings with sound at school, without headphones.
