My Project

I love that my students are curious, hardworking, and eager to learn when given the right tools and environment. They take pride in their space and thrive when they feel organized and supported. Our classroom shelves are full of essential materials, but the open design often creates a visual distraction. By adding table skirts, we can create a more organized, focused learning environment that helps reduce stress and clutter.

Pencils—both regular and mechanical—are basic tools that make a big impact.

Regular pencils will ensure every student is prepared for daily learning tasks, while mechanical pencils will be used as incentives to encourage responsibility and academic excellence. These small additions will help create a classroom that’s calm, clean, and centered on student growth and success.
