My Students

My classroom is the second home for over 160 outstanding individuals! My scholars enjoy having a Special Education Teacher Support Service (SETSS), technology teacher, and math teacher within the week. During those times, it is a privilege to interact with these 160 different personalities. They can let their true selves come out every day! I'm using this platform to help me with providing them with a comfortable teaching environment.

My Project

These students rely on me to make our SETSS, technology, math class comforting, safe, and an inviting place where they can continue learning and thriving. Providing the classroom with these shredders will allow us to eliminate a lot of paper hoarding. Writing will be brought to life in their pieces, allowing them to recreate and bring life to their imagination. Writing and having a comfortable place to disregard unwanted materials will help them build their sense of comfort. Using these shredders will help my workstation destroy private, confidential, or sensitive documents containing my student's information. I need the shredder to discard all student's documentation securely.
