My Students

On March 13, 2020 I walked away from my students thinking I would see them in two weeks. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be 2 months and still haven't seen my students in person.

Currently, I am working with my students via zoom and google classroom.

We meet every day where we continue to practice having a growth mindset to complete our academics for the 2019-2020 school year.

My Project

We are currently faced with a global pandemic that will have lasting impacts on my students.

When we return to the classroom, students will need a way to organize their own materials instead of using community supplies.

I am hopeful that with these individual pencil cases, students will only use they supplies they have been given and share with others.

Making sure students and families feel comfortable when they return to school is going to be imperative. Having a safe space for school supplies will help students feel comfortable in the classroom.
