My Project

I love that my students come to school with unique experiences, perspectives, and a desire to learn. Each day, I get to watch them grow in confidence as they take risks, ask questions, support one another, and discover their own strengths. My students are resilient, curious, and full of potential, and I want to provide them with the tools they need to feel successful and proud of their learning.

The resources in this project will help my students in meaningful ways.

The bilingual English and Spanish books will provide engaging opportunities for students to strengthen literacy skills, build vocabulary, and see themselves represented in the stories they read. The standing rolling whiteboard will support whole group and small group instruction, allowing me to model strategies and provide additional support when students need it most. The over-the-ear headphones will help students stay focused during independent reading, learning activities, and technology-based instruction. The privacy shields will create a comfortable learning environment where students can focus, work independently, and feel confident about showing what they know.

Together, these resources will help my students continue to grow as readers, learners, and leaders while building a classroom where every lion feels valued, supported, and ready to roar.
