My Project

My students are in a Title one school. A lot of them are coming to school for the first time. Some of them are English learners. I want them to come to school every day with a feeling of excitement, joy, and eagerness to learn. I will use these materials for my students- they will be used to store their belongings. The materials will also be used to create a warm and inviting environment for my scholars.

These materials are meant to bring a feeling of warmth, excitement and inclusion where every student knows that they matter and belong.

These materials will be used to decorate and provide materials for each student. Students will feel a sense of pride, excitement and confidence when they see their belongings in their classroom.

Research has shown that when students feel loved and appreciated, they perform better and are able to achieve their goals quicker.

My students are special because they are young and full of curiosity, and I feel fulfilled and happy when they are learning and happy. They help me be a better teacher and I learn so much from them.
