My Project

My project is for students but on my birthday. This year for my birthday instead of treating yourself like someone would, I would rather treat my students to some exciting things for the classroom or school. I want to do something for them for being such amazing students and working so hard this past year.

This project is for my kiddos, to treat them with excitement in the classroom.

This project is based on the things they need or could make their life and even mine easier. They love DonorsChoose and seeing new and exciting things coming in, not all the time but still love experiencing it.

The main things I got for them are for the prize box which they love. The stickers are very much loved, and they earn those things in different ways such as prizes, trivia, best behavior, birthdays, etc.

Children love praise and my students do work very hard to do well, and earning a little something means the world to them.

During online learning, it is hard to reward children in a way that matters but now that we can, I want to show how proud we are of them for their learning, making good choices, improving, reaching goals, kindness, and anything that shows them that they are doing well.

Most of the things I'm requesting are to help my students. The laminator is big but it will make their work better taken care of, look better, and last longer. Some teaching supplies are much needed after a year and our supply is low. My goal in this project is to help their education, even the mouth fidgets will help a lot.

With your generous donation, it will help us tremendously and make it an awesome celebration for me and my kiddos.
