My Project

Our classroom is a vibrant mix of 30 students, including English Language Learners and students with special education needs in an ICT setting. Each child brings their own strengths, backgrounds, and challenges, and we need resources that help every student feel included, engaged, and capable.

The tools I’m requesting—like math manipulatives, interactive reading games, and language-building resources—offer hands-on, visual learning that makes complex ideas accessible.

These resources will help bridge gaps in understanding, whether for students building language skills or those needing additional support with foundational concepts. They’ll provide the personalized, adaptable learning pathways that allow each child to feel seen and supported in their unique needs.

My goal is to create an inclusive, supportive classroom where every student feels empowered and excited to learn. With these materials, I can help each child grow confidently in their skills, building a foundation for lifelong learning and ensuring they feel valued and successful in school.

My students are resilient, curious, and kind. They are supportive of one another and eager to learn, overcoming challenges daily, whether learning a new language or working through individual learning differences. They inspire me every day, and I hope to give them the resources they deserve to thrive.
