My Project
I’m thrilled to be starting my very first year as a 3rd grade teacher. This new chapter in my life is a dream come true. One filled with excitement, hope, and a deep commitment to helping every child in my classroom grow, explore, and thrive.
As I begin this journey, I’m reaching out to ask for your support in helping me create a vibrant, well-equipped learning environment for my students.
Starting from scratch means I’m building this classroom from the ground up, and while my heart is full, my shelves are not.
I’m seeking donations to help fund two key areas:
STEM Supplies:
I want to ignite curiosity and critical thinking through hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math activities. Students need good quality headphones for their technology, and I hope to have a classroom set for each student. From building simple structures with the Legos and magnet blocks to exploring and drawing our experiments using the markers, pencils, and sharpeners, your support will help bring these subjects to life in meaningful and exciting ways.
Classroom Basics:
Every child deserves access to a welcoming and organized space that meets their daily needs. Your donation will help provide essential classroom materials such as slim, rotating book shelves for our class library, pencils, markers, organizational tools, and art supplies, all of which play a huge role in creating a comfortable and creative learning environment. The classroom mailbox system will help us stay organized and is durable enough to last many years.
Every contribution, big or small, helps build the foundation for a classroom where children feel inspired, supported, and excited to learn.
Thank you for believing in the power of education and for supporting a new teacher who’s eager to make a lasting difference.
