My Project

Pencils and markers are essential tools for student learning and classroom activities. Pencils are needed daily for writing, note-taking, problem-solving, and assessments. Markers support creativity, engagement, and visual learning. Students use them for posters, projects, labeling, and interactive activities.

My classroom needs games and fidgets to support student focus, engagement, and social-emotional growth.

Games promote teamwork and problem-solving in a fun, low-pressure way, while fidgets help students self-regulate and stay attentive, especially those with anxiety, ADHD, or sensory needs. These tools create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for all.

My classroom needs snacks to help students stay focused, energized, and ready to learn throughout the day. A simple snack can make a big difference in their ability to concentrate, participate, and feel cared for.
