My Project

I love how eager and unique my students are, each bringing their own strengths and energy to the classroom. The resources I’m requesting will help them become more independent and organized during small group sessions, where they’ll focus on writing, reading, and penmanship. Folders and sheet protectors will keep their work neat, while dry erase markers and highlighters will support interactive learning. These tools will allow students to take ownership of their progress and help me create an engaging environment where they can thrive. My goal is to empower them to build confidence and develop the skills they need for future success.
