My Project

My students are an incredibly diverse and dynamic group of individuals. They come from various backgrounds, each bringing their unique perspectives and talents to the classroom. What I love most about them is their resilience and eagerness to learn, even in the face of challenges. They are curious, creative, and have an amazing ability to support one another, creating a strong sense of community in our classroom.

The karaoke system will provide a fun and engaging way for students to take breaks and express themselves creatively.

Singing can help students improve their confidence and public speaking skills, which are crucial for their overall academic and personal development. Additionally, karaoke can be a collaborative activity, fostering teamwork and camaraderie among students. These breaks will help them return to their studies with refreshed minds, ready to tackle academic challenges more effectively.

The piano will serve as a wonderful tool for students to explore and develop their musical talents. Playing an instrument has been shown to enhance cognitive abilities, improve memory, and boost concentration. By offering students the opportunity to play the piano during instructional breaks, we are not only providing a calming and therapeutic activity but also promoting discipline and perseverance as they learn and practice. The piano will be a gateway for students to experience the joy of music, which can translate into a more positive attitude towards learning in general.
