My Project

My project will help make learning fun and rewarding for my first grade students. I would love to provide each student with two books to encourage reading at home and build a love for learning. The sand bucket, water toys, and coloring books will give students hands-on activities that spark creativity and teamwork. Small treats and candy will be used as rewards to celebrate hard work and positive behavior.

Many of my students do not have access to these kinds of materials outside of school.

Your support will help create joyful learning experiences and lasting memories for my students while encouraging reading, imagination, and confidence every day.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
