My Project

My students are ROCKSTARS!! Being their teacher is a title I wear with pride. As many of you know, teachers don't just teach content. We teach and care for the whole student.

Your generous contribution will directly contribute to the success of my students, allowing me to create an enriched learning environment that nurtures not only the academic growth but also the overall well-being of our students.

I am reaching out to seek your support for an innovative classroom project designed to enhance the learning experience for my students. This "Empowering Minds Through Tech and Treats" project aims to create an engaging and conducive learning environment by incorporating technology, motivation, and nutrition.

Project components:

Amazon Alexa for Learning Assistance:

I plan to integrate Amazon Alexa into our classroom to facilitate seamless timing during activities and quizzes. Alexa will also assist in posing thought-provoking questions, and promoting interactive and dynamic learning experiences for the students.

Jolly Ranchers for Motivation:

I believe in the power of positive reinforcement, and Jolly Ranchers serve as delightful incentives to motivate and reward students for their efforts and achievements. These small treats can have a big impact on their enthusiasm for learning.

Granola Bars for Nutritional Support:

Recognizing that hunger can be a barrier to effective learning, I aim to provide granola bars to ensure our students have access to nutritious snacks when needed. This simple gesture can make a significant difference in their ability to focus and participate in class
