My Project

I absolutely love my students' and colleagues' curiosity, creativity, and determination to learn. They bring energy and excitement into the classroom, inspiring me every day. My room serves as a resource center for both students and staff, making it a hub for collaboration, learning, and support. This project will provide tools like baskets, a laptop stand, a label maker, a printer table, and a supply storage organizer to create a structured and organized environment that supports everyone who uses the space. The baskets and supply organizer will keep materials easily accessible, the label maker will streamline organization, and the laptop stand and printer table will optimize technology use for seamless integration into lessons and projects.

My goal is to create a space where students and staff can focus, collaborate, and feel empowered to succeed.

What makes my students special is their resilience and eagerness to grow, even when faced with challenges. These materials will ensure our resource center is functional, welcoming, and equipped to meet the needs of all who depend on it.
