My Project

I love my students' creativity, resilience, and eagerness to learn. They bring a unique energy to the classroom, always ready to tackle new challenges and grow both academically and personally. Their diverse backgrounds and perspectives make every lesson dynamic and enriching, and I’m constantly inspired by their determination to succeed.

I am requesting a cell phone holder and a "No Cell Phone" poster for our classroom.

The cell phone holders will play a crucial role in helping my students stay focused by reducing distractions, allowing them to fully engage with the learning material. This simple tool will help create a more structured environment, where students can concentrate on lessons and participate actively without the constant pull of their phones. The poster will serve as a gentle reminder to uphold our classroom norms, fostering a culture of responsibility and respect for the learning process. My goal for this project is to create an environment where students can thrive without distractions, unlocking their potential and setting them up for success. My students are special because of their curiosity, drive, and unique talents, and with the right resources, they can achieve remarkable academic and personal growth.
