My Project

The materials I'm requesting will greatly enrich my students' learning. The Light Up Ant Farm Terrarium offers hands-on observation of ant behavior, fostering curiosity and critical thinking. Books on nature deepen understanding of ecosystems and inspire a love for science. Metal shovels and gloves enable practical exploration in our garden, promoting teamwork and environmental care.

My goal is to create an immersive learning environment where students actively engage in inquiry-based learning, particularly focused on nature and the environment.

I aim to inspire curiosity, foster a love for learning, and empower students to become lifelong learners and environmental advocates, deeply connected to the world around them.

What makes my students special is their boundless curiosity, creativity, and resilience. Despite challenges, they approach each day with enthusiasm. Their unique perspectives enrich our classroom community, inspiring me as an educator. Together, we will start on a journey of discovery and growth.
