My Project

My sixth graders are energetic, curious, and full of potential! They are at a unique stage where they’re learning how to take on more responsibility, navigate friendships, and build independence—both academically and socially. Our classroom is more than just a place to learn; it's a community where we support each other, work hard, and celebrate growth.

To help make our classroom a more inviting and engaging space, I’m requesting a few key items that will make a big difference:

Flexible seating options (like wobble stools, cushions, or floor seats) to give students choice and comfort while they work.

A pocket chart to support hands-on learning and keep our classroom routines organized and visual.

Treasure box items to encourage and reward positive behavior, goal-setting, and academic achievements.

These resources will support my students' need for movement, motivation, and structure. With flexible seating, students can focus better and feel more at ease in their learning environment. The treasure box will give them something to work toward—especially helpful for motivating even the most reluctant learners. And the pocket chart will help bring our lessons to life with visual aids and group work.

Your support will help create a classroom that feels welcoming, exciting, and structured—where students can take ownership of their learning and feel proud of their progress. Every donation brings us closer to a space where students feel supported not only academically, but emotionally and socially as well.

Thank you for helping us build a space where sixth graders can shine!
