My Students

My students are amazing. They live in a small town in Arizona and therefore do not have all the opportunities that come with living in a more populated area. They love life though, and just want to soak up any knowledge that comes there way.

These are some of the most amazing children that I have met.

They love just about anything I can throw at them. They live in a beautiful part of this amazing country but it is quite isolated. This makes some parts of education tricky, yet they roll with the punches and enjoy life to the fullest.

My Project

Each year our school does an outdoor dance festival for all the parents. These speakers will help our students to practice outside and be able to hear the music loud and clear while we practice. Having the speakers portable will make it more accessible for teachers to use to practice their dance with the students before the big day. The dance festival is a big deal to our school. It is the last big activity we do at the end of the school year. Having these speakers will make it so much easier to practice and will make it a much more enjoyable activity. The Teacher pay Teacher gift card will provide tools to help give the students that will meet the standards that the students need. It will greatly help with our social studies and science standards which just recently changed to ensure we are provide the best opportunities for the students with knowledge from other great teachers.
