My Project

My students are creative, curious, and full of excitement for learning. They thrive in a classroom that supports their individual needs and helps them grow emotionally, socially, and academically. Many come from diverse backgrounds and face challenges beyond the classroom, but they show up every day ready to try their best. What makes them special is their resilience, compassion for each other, and their eagerness to learn in hands-on, meaningful ways.

This project will give my students the tools they need to build independence, confidence, and structure in their daily routine.

The Extra Large Digital Talking Clock with reminders and alarms will help students learn time management, stay organized, and develop responsibility. It’s especially helpful for students with learning differences or attention challenges, giving them audio and visual cues throughout the day. My goal is to create a learning space where every child feels supported and capable. These tools will ensure all students, no matter their learning style, have what they need to succeed.
