My Project

The dry erase boards will provide my students with interactive engagement and allow them to actively participate. They can write, draw, and work out problems in real-time, which helps keep them engaged and will allow me to assess them in real time. They also provide a visual learning experience that allows them to process concepts more clearly.Headphones help minimize distractions by creating a quieter, more focused learning environment. This is particularly useful in classrooms where background noise can interfere with concentration.

Bins help keep books from piling up or becoming scattered.

This reduces clutter and helps maintain a neat and organized reading area, making it more functional. When books are placed in designated bins, it’s easier for students to return books to their proper place. This fosters a sense of responsibility and helps keep the reading area organized over time.The cart can be easily moved around the room, making it simple to bring books and materials to different areas. This flexibility helps in setting up reading stations or transitioning between activities.
