My Project

I absolutely love how my students show up each day, no matter what challenges they face. Their resilience and dedication are truly inspiring. They come to class with a willingness to learn, even when things outside of school may not be easy for them. These students deserve an environment that fosters their focus and creativity, where they can channel their energy in positive ways.

The games and fidget toys I’m requesting will help them do just that.

For many of my students, these tools will offer a way to stay engaged, calm, and focused, especially during long lessons or when they need to refocus after a busy day. The games will make learning more interactive and enjoyable, helping to turn classroom activities into opportunities for growth, while the fidgets will allow them to release excess energy and improve concentration. These resources will create an environment where learning feels accessible and fun, empowering my students to succeed no matter what obstacles they face outside of the classroom.
