My Project

My students are bright, curious, and energetic, always eager to learn in new and exciting ways. Many of them are hands-on learners who thrive with visual and tactile support. They work hard every day despite challenges and deserve a classroom environment that helps them stay organized, communicate effectively, and focus on their learning.

This project will provide us with essential tools: a power strip tower so students can keep their devices charged and ready, communication recorder buttons to support speech and language development, an Answer Board Supply Center to keep materials accessible and reduce distractions, and a Swingline long reach stapler to help students prepare projects and booklets with pride.

Each item will create smoother classroom routines and encourage more independence, creativity, and collaboration.

I aim to create a more efficient, inclusive, and student-centered learning space where all students feel empowered and supported. These simple but powerful tools will help my students stay engaged, express their ideas, and take ownership of their learning—one answer, one charge, and one staple at a time.
