My Project

I am passionate about my students because of their resilience and enthusiasm for learning, despite the challenges they face. The requested resources, including snacks and math manipulatives, will create a supportive and engaging learning environment. Snacks will provide the necessary nourishment to maintain focus and energy, while math manipulatives will offer hands-on experiences that cater to various learning styles and enhance mathematical understanding. My goal for this project is to improve academic outcomes, as well as to encourage social skills through shared activities. What makes my students special is their ability to inspire one another and find joy in small victories, and with these resources, I aim to empower them to achieve their fullest potential.
