My Project

Every day it is the same situation, the students can not participate in class because they do not have their Chromebooks charged. Yes, they are given chargers but they leave them at home in the outlet with the hopes of charging their computers overnight. Not only do they forget to bring their chargers to school with them, but they also forget to plug them in.

In addition to the charging supplies I am requesting, a good pencil sharpener because it is a must.

I would like to share one with the classroom across from me. She has a life skills class, and they go through pencils like crazy.

Finally, my glue dispensers have had it and no longer work. I use them to hang up the student's work for all to see. My favorite part of teaching is showing off my student's creativity and hard work.
