My Project

My students are special because each student is full of curiosity, wonder, and excitement about the world around them. At the impressible age, they experience many things for the first time and are eager to learn and explore. Their imaginations are vibrant and unlike any other. Their joy, energy, and. genuine curiosity to learn makes them a delight to invest in their future daily and constantly reminds me of the beauty of seeing the world through fresh, innocent eyes. Every student hold limitless potential and deserves an educational experience that empowers, uplifts, and unlocks the very best within them!

The goal of the Think & Thrive Learning Lab is to design differentiated reading and math learning centers that promote equitable access grade-level content that meets the varied readiness levels, interests, and learning profiles of my students.

The donated reading and math resources will provide my students with engaging grade-level appropriate materials to support their academic growth. These tools will help strength foundational skills, boost confidence, and create more opportunities for individualized learning. With these resources, students can better access the curriculum and make meaningful progress in both reading and math.The learning centers will be executed through small group instruction, independent work, and kinesthetic integration.

This ensures that grade-level reading and math tasks are accessible and equitable to all my students despite their diverse backgrounds. Moreover, it ensures that all reading and math tasks are tiered to meet students where they are to extend advanced learners and support those who need more.
