My Students

I have the nicest and sweetest kindergarten class. They are always willing to help each other and learn from one another.

My Title I school is located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and my class consists of 23 loving, fun, and amazing students.

Most of these students are ESL (English Second Language) students, and I want to provide the best education and make school an exciting place for them to go every day. I strive in my classroom to have a variety of different ways for students to choose the best learning style suitable for them.

My Project

These two items may seem simple to someone on the outside but are much-needed for someone on the inside. The laptop holder will give me space at my desk for teaching and able to see my students at the eye level needed. The cart will hold students things when we are at school, hold my computer, and be a place for me to stand and teach as sitting becomes a lot with virtual learning! Both of these will be used for virtual and in school learning! I would greatly appreciate it!
