My Project

Enjoy learning with complete and colorful stuff. Reading and writing are just an ordinary thing in school. However, having varied and colorful materials to use when reading and writing stuff will motivate students and ignite their interest in reading and creativity in writing. The supplies requested, like fidget toys and snacks, would be a great motivation for my students to do better in school. Having colored pens, highlighters, and other stuff will make reading and writing interesting. It is essential for me that my students learn a lot and enjoy every moment spent in my class.
