My Students

My amazing students are energetic and enthusiastic learners. They have a thirst for knowledge, which keeps me motivated every day. My students attend an inner-city school with a high poverty rate. They continue to attend class on time and stay motivated to learn.

My Project

This project will help us organize our paper assignments. Paper work are starting to pile up with no place to store and organize them. The classroom cubbies will allow students to store their assignments and flyers that are taken home at the end of the day. After students are done with their assignments, they can have a place to store their papers.

This project helps students organize their tables and be free of clutter.

The storage books will help us organize our more important paperwork that should be saved for parent conferences.
