My Project

I'm deeply inspired by my students' resilience and curiosity, fueling my passion for teaching. Their eagerness to learn and explore new ideas never fails to amaze me every day.

Introducing "Spot the Feelings" and "SEL Ninja" books for our read-aloud sessions will nurture their emotional intelligence and social skills.

These resources aim to engage their imaginations and foster empathy, creating a supportive environment where every student feels valued.

Installing light covers in our classroom will significantly enhance the learning experience for our students. With softer, diffused lighting, we can create a more calming atmosphere, allowing our students to focus better and thrive academically.
