My Project

I love how each student brings their own spark to learning. Some dive in with curiosity, others with creativity, and many with a quiet determination to figure things out in their own way. They're not just learners, they're thinkers, problem solvers, and dreamers with incredible potential.

In our classroom, tools like board games help students learn through play while practicing teamwork, decision making, and perseverance.

There's something special about the laughter and encouragement that fills the room when they cheer each other on. Magnetic blocks invite students to explore, build, and experiment freely. They become little engineers, discovering patterns and structures while gaining confidence in their ideas.

Squishy toys offer comfort and support for students who need a little help staying focused or calming their minds. It’s amazing how a simple sensory tool can provide just the right amount of reassurance during challenging moments. Conversation cards encourage students to express themselves and truly listen to others. The connections and thoughtful responses that come from these conversations often remind me how insightful and empathetic children can be.

Stacking blocks help students fine tune their coordination and problem solving skills while teaching patience and persistence. Watching them rebuild after a tumble shows just how resilient they are and how joyful learning can be when they’re free to explore.
