My Students

My students are strong and brave children. Many of them have circumstances that they have to fight through every day. They all do not have the school supplies, books, or activities to keep their minds learning and strong.

Distance learning adds another obstacle, let's give them what the need to learn and be successful.

My Project

It's hard to learn away from your friends and teachers. We are all doing our best to make it work. When we have Zoom or Google Meets we try our best to concentrate and focus on the lesson. My students have difficulty with the abstract and learning remotely. They are used to hands-on learning with a partner to work cooperatively with.

We try to do things like write the answer together and 'work out' problems, but oftentimes my students do not have the supplies.

When we try these many students do not have paper to write on or they have a pencil but it is not sharpened. They need notebooks, pens, pencils, markers and dry erase boards.

It is difficult enough to learn remotely, the right supplies will help!
