My Project

I love my students for their incredible resilience, creativity, and determination to succeed, no matter the challenges they face. Each resource in this project is thoughtfully chosen to support their diverse learning needs.

The Yes4All balance board helps improve core strength and focus by allowing safe movement, while the naspaluro ergonomic chair provides comfort and proper posture for better attention.

Organizational tools like the 5-tier letter trays, Spacrea pen holder, caktraie acrylic organizer, kaileyouxiangongsi rotating pen holder, Sooeez clear envelopes, and sheet protectors teach independence and help reduce clutter. The Pilot FriXion erasable gel pens and Ddaowanx whiteboard erasers encourage self-correction and fine motor skills through interactive writing. The skytogether colored masking tape offers visual and tactile learning cues. The WALI dual monitor stand and USB charging accessories ensure ergonomic and reliable technology use, essential for students relying on digital tools and assistive devices.

The Yulejo Braille alphabet board provides multisensory literacy support for visually impaired learners, and the mini precision screwdriver set keeps electronic devices functional for daily use. Together, these resources create a comfortable, organized, and engaging classroom that empowers my students to grow, learn, and succeed.
