My Project

My students hold a special place in my heart, and their success in every area of education is my top priority. I strive to ensure they excel not only in life skills but also in their overall school experience. To help their inclusion in every day life and growth, I incorporate a variety of motor activities that can be integrated into different activities, ensuring they remain active, engaged, and motivated.

Additionally, I provide nutritious snacks to fueling their minds and maintaining their focus throughout the day.

To make learning more relevant, we also incorporate real-world math exercises by using practice money in classroom activities allowing students to purchase snacks, transforming everyday tasks into meaningful and valuable learning opportunities.
