My Project
Hello, I am a passionate 1st-grade teacher at my school. Every day, I have the privilege of working with bright, curious students who are eager to learn despite the challenges they face. Many of my students come from low-income households where access to high-quality educational resources is limited. To bridge this gap, I am seeking support to provide them with STEM materials and tools that foster fine motor skills, critical thinking, and hands-on learning.
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics education is crucial in preparing students for the future.
However, for young learners, these subjects must be introduced in engaging, hands-on ways that allow them to explore, experiment, and build problem-solving skills. Additionally, many of my students struggle with fine motor development, which impacts their handwriting, coordination, and ability to manipulate learning materials effectively.
With your generous donation, we can provide essential resources such as: STEM Kits, tablets, a speaker, books, a laminator, games and snacks.
Your support will directly impact my students by giving them opportunities to develop foundational skills that will set them up for long-term academic success. Every contribution helps create a learning environment where all students, regardless of their background. Please feel free to help my growing classroom.
Thank you for your time, generosity, and commitment to education. Together, we can empower the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers!
