My Project

I love how curious, creative, and determined my students are. Every day they come ready to learn, but they also need tools that help them focus, manage stress, and feel prepared for success. The index cards will support study skills and organization, while the iPad and keyboard case will open opportunities for research, writing, and presentations. Fidget toys, stress balls, and putty will give students healthy outlets to calm themselves so they can focus on learning. Classroom essentials like tissues, sanitizer, hooks, batteries, and first aid supplies will keep our learning space safe, comfortable, and organized.
