My Project

Focus Learning: Headphones can help children block out distraction in a noisy environment, allowing them to concentrate better on tasks and lessons.

With headphones students can engage with audio materials at their pace, listening to lessons, audiobooks, or educational videos tailored to their individual learning needs.

Using headphones for listening activities can help children develop the auditory processing skills and improve their ability to follow instructions and would be able to comprehend spoken content.

Pencils can allow for easy corrections when writing and problem solving without the fear of making permanent mistakes. Providing pencils supports essential skills in writing, creativity and active engagement in a more effective learning experience.

Kid size stools can empower children to navigate their learning environment more independently. With group work is vital for social learning. Overall, this provide kid with comfort and promote engagement , support collaborative learning, making educational experience more effective and enjoyable for my students.

The laminator would be used for laminating worksheets, charts, and educational resources would help protect them from wear and tear, allowing for repeated use over time. Plus this would make resources more accessible for all students.

Laminating schedules and instructional guides can help students stay organized , focus and foster independence and help with time management. When using a laminator can enhance the quality and longevity of educational materials, making learning more interactive and engaging with my students.

My students from low-income background demonstrate incredible strength and adaptability, overcoming challenges that can foster a strong sense of determination and perseverance.

My students bring unique life experiences and viewpoints to the classroom, enriching discussions and encourage empathy among peers.

My students recognize the value of education as a pathway to a better future, often showing a strong desire to succeed and improve their cicumstance
