My Project

My third-grade students are ready to learn, explore, and grow, and I want to provide them with a classroom environment where they feel prepared and supported every day. This project will provide essential classroom tools that will help make learning more engaging, organized, and accessible for every student.

With these headphones, students will be able to independently participate in digital learning activities, online assessments, audiobooks, and interactive lessons without distractions.

Expo markers will support daily practice in math, reading, and writing, while laminating sheets will allow us to create durable, reusable learning materials and hands-on activities throughout the year.

Storage bins will help keep our classroom organized and allow students to easily access learning materials, building independence and responsibility. A laptop riser will support effective technology integration during instruction, and an electric pencil sharpener will help minimize interruptions so students can spend more time learning.

These may seem like simple classroom supplies, but they make a big difference in creating a positive and productive learning space. Your support will help my third graders have the tools they need to stay engaged, build confidence, and reach their full potential.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
