My Project

As a first-year teacher, I’m starting from the ground up. I want to create a classroom that gives my students the structure, support, and joy they deserve every day. I’m asking for help to bring in essential classroom supplies that will allow us to work comfortably and learn in ways that keep students engaged and confident.

With your help, I can stock our room with the basics we need to stay organized, work in small groups, explore reading and math centers, and build our independence as learners.

These are things that can make a big difference in how our day runs and how students feel when they walk through the door each morning.

At a Title One school like mine, many families are not always able to contribute supplies from home, and starting out as a brand new teacher means I do not have a lot of resources built up yet. Your support will help me create a classroom that feels complete, a space that is ready for learning, exploration, and growth.

Even the small things, like having enough supplies for everyone or creating cozy corners for reading, help build routines and confidence. When students know they have what they need, they feel ready to take on challenges and take pride in their work.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
