My Project

My 2nd and 3rd-grade students can benefit significantly from snacks, social games, and focus tools that can enhance their learning experience. Snacks can provide and maintain energy and concentration throughout the day, which leads to improved academic performance. Social games and Legos promote teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills, fostering a positive and inclusive classroom environment. Focus tools, such as fidget toys and stress balls, assist my students in managing their attention and staying engaged in learning activities.

By contributing to these resources, you are helping to create a classroom that nurtures both academic and personal growth, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed.
