My Project

I would like to create and immersive classroom environment to keep students engaged in a different way. Its so hard to capture students attention these days and with an creating a classroom that supports their mental health one in which they will never want to leave is the new goal for me.

With technology these days students come to class generally in a poor mood.

I love to interest them in things that will pull their attention in a new way.

Using aromatherapy in your classroom is a major way to increase students mental health. Using lightning especially during our mental health scenarios will be a core memory for students in 10th grade health class.
