My Project

I am incredibly proud of my energetic and curious group of second graders. They come to school each day with a hunger for knowledge, bright smiles, and endless creativity. Their eagerness to explore, ask questions, and dive into new challenges makes them truly special. Each child brings a unique spark to our classroom, creating a vibrant and supportive learning community.

In today’s classroom, technology is a powerful tool that allows students to engage with personalized lessons, practice essential skills, and explore new concepts through interactive programs.

With their own headphones, students will be able to focus without distraction, fully immersing themselves in literacy and math activities tailored to their individual needs. This will foster greater independence and boost their confidence as they progress at their own pace. The over-the-door organizer will give us a safe place to help keep the headphones organized and safe when they aren't being used.

My goal for this project is to create an environment where every student has access to the resources they need to thrive. With headphones, they can participate in online reading interventions, practice language skills, and engage in educational games without background noise interfering. This will support both struggling learners and advanced students, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to grow.
