My Project
Every day in my classroom is a new opportunity to spark curiosity, build confidence, and help students see what they can achieve. I work hard to create a space where learning feels exciting and accessible, where students know they are cared for, and where the environment supports their academic and personal growth.
This project will help me prepare for daily lessons, keep materials organized, and create a smooth classroom routine.
Pencil pouches will help students keep their personal supplies in one place, minimizing distractions and lost items. A laminator will allow me to preserve anchor charts, daily procedures, and reusable learning tools that support instruction all year long.
Your generosity allows me to stay ready for the unexpected, support students with care, and keep our momentum going all year. Thank you for investing in the daily moments that make a big difference.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
