My Project

I am a ninth year teacher, who has decided to ask for help to purchase some necessary materials for my new classroom at a new school. I am a dedicated and innovative teacher. I have developed an extraordinary plan to revolutionize the learning environment for underserved students.

In our classroom, we've implemented a convenient and organized system to keep snacks readily available for our students.

A 3-tier cart serves as the perfect storage solution, housing a variety of healthy and delicious snacks that students can easily grab during designated break times. The cart not only promotes self-sufficiency but also ensures that students have access to nourishing treats throughout the day. Additionally, we've added a wall plug-in scent diffuser to freshen the room and create a pleasant learning environment. The subtle fragrance helps create a positive atmosphere, fostering a conducive space for focused learning. Furthermore, to keep every desk well-equipped, we have provided each table with a pens holder that neatly holds pencils, crayons, and markers. This way, students have all their essential writing and coloring tools at their fingertips, promoting organization and efficiency during class activities. With these thoughtful additions to our classroom, we strive to make the learning experience enjoyable, engaging, and productive for our students. we have created a heartwarming and supportive space for our students by introducing 4x6 picture frames on our "Family Wall." Each frame proudly holds photos of our students' families, providing a comforting reminder of their loved ones whenever they may feel a little down. The Family Wall serves as a visual representation of the strong connections and bonds that exist outside of the classroom, instilling a sense of belonging and security in our students. In moments of vulnerability, students can simply gaze at the cherished memories displayed on the wall, drawing strength.
