My Students

My students are diverse individuals, who are also active, reflective learners who take a high level of responsibility and display high levels of inquiry. Students in my class are amicable, sociable, and intrinsically motivated. They always want to know why, and how as they engage in various aspects of learning.

My students display a high level of curiosity, creativity, zeal and a willingness to devote themselves to a challenge which will broaden their knowledge base, and collaborative skills, to enable them to function effectively in a globally competitive market!

My Project

Our students are curious, active, creative, and display a high level of enthusiasm for learning. They are devoted individuals who are desirous of learning to be able to effectively contribute to the global environment as worthwhile citizens.

The pandemic just experienced has left students with a lot of anxiety issues and as a result, their social-emotional states have been compromised.

Consequently, our aim is to reduce the pent-up emotions that students are experiencing and increase their self-efficacy and help them to re-engage in learning.

To help students to regulate their emotions (squeeze it) we strive to provide devices and tools (pop it) as a way that they can release these energies and thus be able to cope with different circumstances (drop It).

The requested fidgets and other items will allow students to be supported in the development of students’ well-being beyond literacy and numeracy, as they will be involved in sensory and imaginative play to regulate, convey, and understand emotions.
