My Project

My students are bright, curious learners who thrive when given a classroom environment that supports their focus, comfort, and creativity. In our Title I school, many students face challenges beyond the classroom, and I strive to make our room a safe, calm, and engaging place to learn.

Each item in this project has been thoughtfully selected to support student engagement, emotional regulation, and academic success.

To help my students stay focused and feel more comfortable while working independently or in small groups, I’m requesting lap desks that can be used in various learning areas across our classroom. These flexible tools allow students to sit or stretch while working on reading, writing, or laptop activities, meeting different sensory and seating needs.

We are also in need of soft lighting and cozy rugs to create a calming corner and reading nook. The standing floor lamps with warm LED bulbs will help replace harsh overhead lighting, while the plush shaggy rug will make a perfect cozy space for reading, regrouping, or just feeling safe and calm during the day.

Finally, having a large supply of pre-sharpened pencils ensures every student always has access to the most basic, yet essential tool for learning. This bulk pack of 320 pencils will support our classroom for months to come!

Your support will help build a classroom where students feel supported, respected, and ready to learn each day.
