My Project

This project aims to enhance my students' learning experience by providing interactive materials such as crackers, games, and markers. By incorporating these engaging resources, I seek to create a fun and stimulating classroom environment where students can collaborate, explore their creativity, and actively participate in their learning journey. The games will promote teamwork and critical thinking skills, encouraging students to work together to solve challenges. Meanwhile, the markers will allow for creative expression in various projects and activities, fostering their artistic abilities. Ultimately, this project aims to motivate my students, strengthen their social skills, and cultivate a lifelong love for learning.
