My Project

Purchasing flags representing the native lands of my students can significantly enhance their learning experience. By visually acknowledging their diverse cultural backgrounds, I create a more inclusive and welcoming classroom environment. Over the years I have purchased many flags, these flags are the request of my current students.

This visible representation fosters a sense of belonging and pride in their heritage.

Students will feel valued and respected, knowing that their cultural identities are recognized and celebrated within the classroom. This increased sense of belonging can lead to improved self-esteem, increased engagement, and ultimately, enhanced academic performance.
