My Project
I love that my students come to school each day full of curiosity, energy, and a desire to do their best. They are creative, caring, and eager to learn—despite the challenges they may face outside the classroom. My students take pride in their learning environment, and they thrive when things are organized and structured.
Right now, we don’t have a proper place for backpacks, which means they often end up piled in corners or scattered around the room.
This creates safety hazards and distractions. Providing backpack storage will help create a cleaner, more organized classroom where students can move freely and focus on learning. When students feel comfortable and their space is tidy, they’re more confident and ready to engage. This small change can make a big difference in their daily experience.
