My Project

I love that my high school students are curious, resilient, and eager to succeed when given the right tools and environment. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives to our classroom discussions, especially when exploring complex topics in U.S. History. Flexible seating will allow them to feel more comfortable and in control of their learning space, which can greatly improve focus and engagement. The U.S. History survival books will break down challenging historical content into clear, student-friendly language, helping them build confidence and deeper understanding. Together, these resources will create a learning environment where all students feel supported, empowered, and ready to thrive.
