My Students

My students come from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Some might have more, and some might have less. However, this does not change their love for learning. They are all eager to learn.

There should not be limitations to students' learning.

Students have different learning styles. Our school serves all students, and we do our best to meet the needs of students. We promote joyful learners. It is very important to provide access to our students with different learning styles and needs, especially at the early stage of learning.

My Project

Some of my students need triangular pencils to practice holding pencils and writing. The triangular pencils will help them hold and write more properly. We also need a pencil sharpener that can sharpen these triangular pencils.

Students need more basic classroom supplies.

My students are really into writing. They use a lot of writing paper to make books of their own. Pencils and papers are a necessity for students to do their writing.

Students are also really into making art projects. Modeling clays, fuse beads, and vinyls are great tools for students to experience different medias in art. They can use these materials to create inventions that they have. They can use beads to help build hand-eye coordination.
