Maximizing Our Focus

My students need privacy boards to help them focus better during assessments. It helps keep the distractions to a minimum and those wandering eyes won't be able to look over to another student's work.

My Students

My students come from diverse backgrounds. My students are eager to learn and reach their highest potential. They are vibrant, intelligent and ambitious children. My students are excited to show off their talents. They pride themselves in knowing new things as well as doing well in school. Even though they are very little, they encourage each other to do well too. They are not just students to me, but amazing people who will one day make a difference in the world.

My Project

These privacy boards will help keep distractions to a minimum. I'll be able to better gauge, which students need help with certain topics based off of assessments, since there will not be any chance for students to share answers. It will also allow for my students to concentrate and put forth their best efforts. Currently we do not have any privacy boards. We have tried to use folders upright on the desks but that didn't work. They fell easily and then became a distraction from falling. I also didn't have enough folders to use so some would get upset. Having enough sturdy privacy boards will encourage and facilitate higher focus and better results for my students.
