My Project

Got it! Here’s a separate 90+ word response explicitly focused on why you need the resources:

As a first-year teacher, I’m building my classroom from the ground up with minimal supplies.

Many essential materials that help create a smooth, structured, and exciting learning environment aren’t provided, and purchasing everything on my own is a challenge. The math games, bingo, phonic games, and other resources will help me establish clear routines, keep students organized, and provide hands-on tools that support academic success. I want my students to walk into a classroom that feels safe, inspiring, and full of opportunity—and these materials are key to making that vision a reality.

Mr. Capers Joseph Martin Elementary School Grades PreK-2
