My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Our school is nestled in a rural, southern part of Indiana where over one-third of our families come from a low-income household.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning and they are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a group of learners that are excited and ready to learn.

My Project

Many students in my classroom are unable to bring in quality headphones to use with technology if any at all. We are currently using headphones with the majority of our projects and many students are not able to do these successfully without headphones being available. We are learning through activities like Project Based Learning activities, hyperdocs, coding, and lessons on interactive websites. These all require the need to use headphones, but many students are not able to use any at this time.

If we are able to have these headphones in our classroom, students will be able to concentrate on their projects easier with less noise to distract them.

Having the same headphones in the classroom also encourages equality so that everyone has the same capabilities and opportunities with no one left behind. This not only would help my current students but many students that come through my classroom for years to come. Thank you inadvance for making our classroom highly effective!
