My Project

I love my students’ curiosity, creativity, and eagerness to learn.

The Double Sided Rainbow Play Alphabet Arch Mats will make letter recognition fun and engaging, helping build their foundational literacy skills.

The Expo Whiteboard Wipes and Dry Erase Paddle Set will keep our interactive lessons clean and organized, encouraging active participation.

The Big Joe Bean Bag Chair creates a cozy, calm-down corner where students can regulate their emotions and refocus. The Electric Pencil Sharpener ensures they always have sharp tools for writing and drawing.

The Plastic Folders help students keep their important papers and take-home information organized, fostering responsibility. The Wireless Doorbell supports smooth classroom transitions.

The Fidget Toys provide sensory support to help students stay focused, and the Pencil Boxes keep their supplies neat and accessible. Lastly, the Candy Pack will be used as small rewards to celebrate their hard work and positive behavior.

Each item is chosen to create a supportive, engaging, and organized learning environment that meets my students’ diverse needs.
