My Project

Our students' families have taken many financial hits since the pandemic, and my school is now Title I. It is outside of my students' financial reach to purchase the more expensive equipment for their instrument care, like the instrument stands requested in this project. This will aid students who have to switch between multiple instruments in a performance.

Since our students have returned to in person learning, they have had to make do with adapted classroom spaces.

The other requested resources include a mobile dry erase whiteboard and a multiport to be used in classrooms shared with other teachers. The whiteboard can be easily moved to other classrooms. The multiport is used to quickly connect with classroom technology and electronic instruments. Post-pandemic, technology in the classroom has been a must. The use of a multiport means I can focus more on instruction and less on solving IT issues.
