My Project

I teach an amazing group of students who are full of energy, questions, and a love for learning. Each day, I work to create a classroom that feels calm, organized, and full of opportunities to grow—but we’re in need of a few key items to help make that happen.

Right now, we’re using a small table for small group work, but my students are growing—and the table just isn’t big enough anymore.

It’s hard for everyone to fit comfortably, and it makes it challenging to focus during lessons. I’m hoping to bring in a new small group table with a whiteboard surface. This would give us more room to spread out, and the whiteboard top would let students solve problems, draw, and share their thinking right on the table. It makes learning more interactive, hands-on, and engaging.

I’m also hoping to add a set of student mailboxes to our room. These would give each child a space to store their work, handouts, and notes to take home. It would help us stay organized and teach the kids responsibility for their materials.

These two items would make a big difference in our day-to-day routines and give students the tools and space they need to do their best learning. Thank you so much for considering supporting our class—we’re so grateful for any help you can give!
