My Project

The board games will help my 6th grade students develop critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills in a fun and engaging way, while the school supplies will ensure every student has what they need to fully participate in class activities and projects. The snacks will help keep their energy and focus up during long learning blocks, creating a more productive and positive classroom environment.

My goal for this project is to create a supportive and engaging space where students feel equipped, energized, and connected—both academically and socially.

I want to foster a classroom where students are not just learning content, but also building the life skills and confidence they need to thrive.

What makes my students special is their resilience, creativity, and diverse backgrounds. They come to class eager to learn, collaborate, and support one another, and with the right resources, they are capable of achieving incredible things.
