My Project
What I love most about my students is their endless curiosity, big imaginations, and the joy they bring into our classroom each day. They are eager to learn, full of creativity, and always excited to express their ideas—whether through pictures, words, or play.
An easel will help my students by giving them a dedicated space to explore, create, and share their thoughts in a hands-on, engaging way.
Whether they’re practicing their letters, drawing a story, or solving a math problem, the easel becomes a tool that brings learning to life. It also encourages collaboration, confidence, and independent thinking—skills that are just as important as reading and writing.
With your support, we can provide a learning environment where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired. Furthermore students benefit from visual
As an easel that will support their on going learning, close gaps, and reach their academic goals.
