My Project

I love how curious, creative, and resilient my students are. Every day, they come to school ready to learn, even when they face challenges outside the classroom. Their energy and enthusiasm make our classroom a place full of potential. What they need now are the right tools to help them stay focused, organized, and actively engaged in learning. These resources will make a meaningful impact on their academic growth and confidence.

Seat storage will help students keep their supplies organized and easily accessible, which reduces distractions and helps them stay on task.

When materials are within reach, learning time increases and transitions become smoother. Flexible seating will give students the ability to choose a workspace that fits their learning style. This promotes focus, comfort, and a sense of ownership over their learning. Earphones will provide quiet, individualized access to digital lessons and assessments, allowing students to better concentrate and absorb information.

Dry erase markers will be used during interactive lessons and small group work, giving students a chance to practice skills and receive immediate feedback in a low-pressure way. Math manipulatives will support hands-on learning by helping students visualize and physically explore math concepts. Math games will reinforce those skills through fun, engaging activities that promote critical thinking and collaboration. Each of these resources will contribute to a more dynamic, supportive, and effective learning environment for every student in my classroom.
