My Project

I love how driven and full of potential my students are. They are eager to learn and thrive when they have the tools and structure to support them.

The materials in this project—dry erase boards, utensil organizers, and dry erase pocket sleeves—will bring much-needed structure to our classroom.

With personal dry erase boards and sleeves, students can practice skills in real time, get immediate feedback, and stay actively engaged during lessons. The utensil organizers will help keep their materials neat and accessible, saving valuable learning time and teaching them responsibility and time management.

This project will help create an organized, hands-on learning environment where students can focus, participate more, and become more proficient in their daily work.
