My Project

What I love most about my students is their unique way of seeing the world, their honesty, and the joy they find in routines, patterns, and meaningful connections. Each one of them brings something special to our classroom community. They thrive when given structure, support, and opportunities to express themselves in creative ways. Social and emotional manipulatives help them understand feelings—both their own and others’—while building empathy and communication skills. Pairing these tools with engaging reading and math games not only strengthens their academic foundation but also boosts confidence, attention, and motivation. With the right resources, my students can learn, grow, and shine in ways that reflect just how capable and extraordinary they truly are.
