My Project

Dear Supporters,

I have the absolute joy of teaching third grade!

What I love most about my students is their endless energy, unique stories, and genuine eagerness to learn every day. Our school is a wonderfully supportive community, and I want to make sure my classroom environment matches the vibrant spirit of my kids.

To help them focus and thrive, I am raising funds to bring three essential tools into our classroom:

A Classroom Rug: To create a warm, dedicated community space where we can gather comfortably for morning meetings, read-alouds, and group lessons.

Juexica Floor Cushions: To provide flexible, comfortable floor seating. These cushions let active eight- and nine-year-olds choose a spot where they can focus and collaborate comfortably.

Student Headphones: To block out classroom noise and allow each child to focus deeply on their personalized, digital reading and math programs.

Why this matters: When students are physically comfortable and free from distractions, their stamina and excitement for learning skyrocket. Your generosity will directly impact our daily learning and show these incredible kids that a whole community is rooting for their success. Thank you so much for your support!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
