My Project

Inclement weather is widespread, and its impact on humans is unpredictable. Weather catastrophes, such as hurricanes and tornadoes, have the potential to occur suddenly and with great intensity. When such a situation arises, our primary concern for our students is their safety. However, hurricanes and tornadoes when they arise will destroy everything in its path.

In the event of a storm or tornado causing significant damage to our school, we will be required to commence the process of rebuilding and starting anew.

In order to proceed with the instruction, it is necessary for my students to have pens, snacks, tablets, a microwave, perishable foods, water and disinfectant spray.

Students will be provided with tablets and pens to complete both online and print tasks. The Kleenex will be used for students in need, including for those suffering from allergies and colds. Not only will the snacks satisfy the needs of those who may be going through food shortages at home, but they will also give pupils a burst of energy while they are at school. After every lesson, the desks will be sprayed with disinfection. Students can reheat their food in the microwave as needed. The health and happiness of my students will greatly benefit from all of these factors. It is critical that my pupils put their studies first once a weather disaster has passed so that they are not worried about where they will get the supplies they need to succeed in school.
