My Project

In our class, having access to pens, paper, and a file cabinet is essential for creating an organized and productive learning environment.

Pens and paper will enable students to take notes, brainstorm ideas, and complete assignments effectively, fostering creativity and engagement.

A file cabinet will provide a designated space to store important documents, keeping materials organized and easily accessible.

This organization will not only help students manage their workload more efficiently but also instill a sense of responsibility and discipline. Ultimately, these supplies will enhance our overall learning experience, allowing us to focus more on collaboration and academic growth.

Our classroom often gets uncomfortably cold, making it difficult for students to focus and engage in lessons. Installing a heater would create a more conducive learning environment, helping everyone stay warm and attentive.
