My Project

Practice, practice, practice is key to help bridge the gap on what students lost during the pandemic. These Smart Workbooks will make a significant impact on how my student learn and be successful in crucial subject areas such as math, science, and reading. Using these workbooks will be fun and engaging while building confidence in a way where the activities break educational concepts into simple steps that are easy for young children to understand and to complete! Using these workbooks aren't limited to the classroom but will be used for parent and child to work together. Research has proven that children learn better when their parents are actively involved in their education.

It is my goal to start the year off by closing any learning gaps students have faced and implement an environment that is flourishing for all learning needs.
