My Project

Storage shelves will help keep our classroom organized, making it easier for students to access materials independently and transition smoothly between activities. Crayon boxes will provide each child with their own set of tools for creativity and fine motor development, reducing sharing conflicts and lost supplies. Dry erase sleeves will allow students to practice writing, drawing, and problem-solving in a reusable and engaging way, promoting hands-on learning and minimizing paper waste.

My goal is to create a well-organized, student-friendly learning environment where young learners can easily find and use materials to support their creativity, critical thinking, and independence.

By improving classroom organization and providing essential supplies, I aim to foster a more efficient, engaging, and supportive space that encourages active learning and self-sufficiency.

My students are curious, imaginative, and eager to explore the world around them. They come from diverse backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives and experiences to our classroom. Despite their young age, they show incredible resilience, kindness, and enthusiasm for learning. By providing them with the tools they need to succeed, we can nurture their love for discovery and help them build a strong foundation for future learning.
