My Project

I love my students' curiosity, enthusiasm, and determination to grow every day. Their excitement for learning and their eagerness to engage in new challenges inspire me to provide the best educational experience possible.

Each resource in our pretend play store will serve as a fun and meaningful way to reinforce positive behavior, responsibility, and motivation.

By earning points through hard work, kindness, and perseverance, students will have the opportunity to "shop" for rewards, helping them develop decision-making skills and a sense of accomplishment. This interactive system will encourage engagement, foster a love for learning, and create a classroom environment where students feel valued and excited to succeed.
