My Project

My second graders who are in an ICT class are bright, eager learners who always give their best, despite the challenges they face. Each day, they show up ready to learn, but many of them require extra support to help them succeed.

Elkonin Box Dry-Erase Boards and sensory tools, will make a significant difference in their learning.

The dry-erase boards will enhance their phonics skills, allowing them to engage in interactive activities that build their literacy foundation. Meanwhile, sensory tools will help calm anxious minds and improve focus, creating an environment where all students can thrive.

My goal for this project is to provide these essential resources so that every child has the opportunity to excel academically and emotionally. With your support, we can ensure that these bright students are equipped with the tools they need to reach their full potential.

What makes my students special is their resilience and determination. They come from low-income families and face various challenges, yet they approach each day with enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. Together, let’s empower them to shine!
