My Project

In my classroom, the need for essential resources like a new whiteboard, neon signs for a safe place, and pencils/colored paper is critical in creating an environment conducive to learning and growth. A new whiteboard would provide a fresh canvas for interactive lessons, fostering engagement and comprehension among students. Neon signs designating a safe place offer a comforting and secure space for students to express themselves and seek support. Additionally, pencils and colored paper, a seemingly small necessity, are vital tools for student participation and academic success. These resources may seem simple, but in the context of an underprivileged classroom, they hold the power to enhance the educational experience and empower students to thrive despite limited resources.

Mrs. Birt will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 4.
