My Project

I absolutely love how curious, energetic, and resilient my students are. They walk into our classroom each day with excitement and a willingness to learn, even when the work is challenging. Each of them learns in their own unique way, and I’m committed to creating a classroom environment that supports focus, movement, organization, and joy in learning.

This project includes resources that will help meet my students’ academic and emotional needs.

The Flex-Space 22" Green Balance Ball Seat Bundle will give students an outlet for movement while staying engaged in learning. These flexible seating options are especially helpful for students who have difficulty sitting still or focusing for extended periods—they promote better posture, core strength, and attention during lessons.

The fidget materials will provide sensory support and help students self-regulate their energy and emotions. The anchor chart board will serve as a central display for key concepts, strategies, and student-created ideas that we refer to daily. The book collection will foster a love for reading and allow students to explore texts that inspire and challenge them. And finally, the organizational tools will help us maintain a calm, structured classroom where every student knows where materials are and how to stay on task.

With your support, we’ll be able to create a more focused, welcoming, and enriching learning space that helps every student feel empowered to do their best. Thank you for helping us learn and grow—your generosity truly makes a difference!
