Harvesting Success

Help me give my students a rolling laptop cart to ease class traffic, some candy to reward them for positive behavior, and great work.

My Project

I have the privilege of teaching a group of students who are eager to learn. My students are special because they are curious, resilient, and full of potential. My goal, therefore, is to create a classroom where every child feels valued, motivated, and equipped with the tools they need to succeed.

The resources in my Harvesting Success project will help cultivate an engaging learning environment where students can thrive.

A mobile computer cart makes technology easily accessible throughout the classroom, making learning more flexible and engaging. The candies will serve as a treat for positive reinforcement, celebrating academic growth, perseverance, and good character.

The motivational charts will be used to visually remind students that mistakes are opportunities to learn and that persistence leads to achievement.

Having an abundance of pencils and paper will ensure students are always prepared to complete assigned tasks. The magnetic board will be used in a small-group setting to aid demonstrations.

With these resources, my classroom will become a place where students are encouraged to grow academically, build confidence, and celebrate every success.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
