My Project

My students are special because of how each of them make me feel on a daily basis. I laugh, cry, and sometimes get frustrated but I always remember the end goal. There is progress to be made in the mist of any learning.

The EPSON COLOR Ink Jet printer will allow me to print material in color for students to enjoy!

Who wants to look at black and white paper everyday? I want to brighten things up and get my students excited and looking forward to a brighter learning experience. The flexible seating balls and the Big Joe will allow my students more seating choices in the classroom. The emotional support sensory toys will help calm my overstimulated students, help with bad days, feeling sad, and the need to fidget with something to focus. The timer will be used as an addition to our soon to be newly added calming corner 2025-2026.

This project is special because my students are very special to me. I will always do everything in my power to make their learning experience more

fun and enjoyable, because in my experience when kids are learning and having fun they tend to retain more information.

Thank you for giving me a chance to brighten up the way my students see things.
