My Project

I am not only an English teacher but also the club advisor for our school's Filipino Cultural Club. Our student population is 43% Filipino and we have a mixed combination of first, second, and third-generation Filipino students with unique identities. A laser engraver is a creative resource that can be used to incorporate project-based learning (both in my ELA classroom and our Filipino Club) and fundraising opportunities to support our students in various ways.

With a laser engraver, I can offer my students engaging and meaningful learning experiences that will also work to support other student activities.

Our students will be able to participate in opportunities to apply their creativity and knowledge.
