My Project

Having a supply nutritious snacks, fidget toys, and crucial teaching tools is important part in the classroom. Nutritious snacks will ensure our students are focused and ready to learn, while fidget toys will help manage anxiety and improve concentration, creating a calmer, more productive environment. We also need presentation boards, and visual aids to make learning interactive and engaging, allowing for differentiated instruction and increased student participation. These resources are vital for creating an inclusive and supportive learning space where every child can thrive.

My goal is to address the basic needs of our students, promote emotional well-being, and increase engagement in the classroom.
