My Project

As a teacher in BMMS, I have seen that my students are creative, curious, and eager to learn, despite facing various challenges. They come from diverse backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives and experiences into the classroom. Many of them overcome obstacles daily, whether academic, personal, or financial, yet they show up ready to grow and explore. Their resilience, enthusiasm, and kindness make them truly special, and I want to give them every opportunity to reach their full potential.

My primary goal is to enhance student learning by providing resources that make lessons more dynamic, accessible, and effective.

I want to create a classroom where students feel excited to learn, collaborate, and think critically. Additionally, I aim to support differentiated instruction, ensuring that all students, regardless of ability level, can engage meaningfully with the curriculum.

The items I am requesting will provide hands-on, engaging learning experiences that cater to different learning styles. The Simple Machine Kits, Science Car Kits, and STEM kits encourage problem-solving, or flexible seating to improve focus, each resource will create a more interactive and inclusive learning environment. These materials will help bridge learning gaps, increase student engagement, and ensure every child has the tools they need to succeed.
