My Project

My goal for this project is to transform my diverse classroom into a hub of active learning and engagement. My students, each with unique skills and interests, (and a lot of energy) deserve an environment that fosters curiosity and creativity.

By introducing standing whiteboards, alternative seating and geometry based games, we can create a dynamic workspace that accommodates various learning styles, while fostering an engaging learning environment.

These items will empower students to move, collaborate, participate actively in their learning, and develop engage the mind for thinking.

Your support will directly contribute to these goals, providing my students with the tools they need to thrive academically and develop a lifelong passion for learning.

Thank you for considering this project and making a lasting impact on the education journey of my incredible students.
