My Project

All items listed are to create an environment that is emotional safe and fun. The goal is for struggling students to have resources that meet their academic needs, so I can help propel them forward.

I have chosen magazines and book sets that are at or slightly above their reading level to eliminate frustration.

We have classroom laptops, but the headphones will be essential for individual learning that will keep distractions to a minimum. The workbooks listed will be utilized as support resources for homework.

I appreciate everyone who helps by donating to my new classroom. I am excited to start on this new venture!

Ms. Romano New Dorp High School Grades 9-12
