My Project

I love my students because they bring such joy and energy into my life every day. Their enthusiasm for learning and their unique perspectives constantly inspire me. Each student has a story and a background that adds to the richness of our classroom community, and I feel privileged to be a part of their educational journey.

Introducing an electric hole puncher, LED toy watches, and an adjustable flip desk clock into our classroom would not only make learning more engaging and fun but also more organized and efficient.

The electric hole puncher would allow students to independently prepare their materials, fostering a sense of responsibility and ownership over their work. The LED toy watches could be used as visual timers, helping students manage their time effectively and stay on task. The adjustable flip desk clock would not only help newcomers learn to tell time but also serve as a visual anchor for our daily schedule, providing a sense of structure and predictability that is especially important for students who are new to our country. These tools would not only enhance their learning experience but also create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all students. It will mean a lot to help bring this project to life.
