My Project
I teach a vibrant group of 3rd-grade learners who come to school each day full of curiosity, energy, and enthusiasm. They are eager to learn and grow, and I want to give them every opportunity to shine. Our classroom is a safe and welcoming space where we work hard, dream big, and support one another like a family.
In this project, I’m requesting supplies that will help make our classroom more functional, organized, and inviting.
These items might not be flashy, but they are essential!
We’re in need of small group chairs to support collaborative learning and flexible seating. When students gather for reading groups or hands-on activities, they need comfortable, sturdy seating that encourages focus and teamwork.
We also need classroom staples like a glue gun, stapler, tape, and bulletin board paper to create visual displays, anchor charts, and engaging learning spaces. These materials help bring our walls to life with student work, important reminders, and content-rich displays that support our lessons all year long.
A well-organized and inviting classroom helps students feel calm, focused, and ready to learn. Having the right tools—whether it’s a chair to sit in, or tape to hang up their artwork—helps build a learning environment that students are proud of.
Your support will help us transform our classroom into a space where students feel comfortable, creative, and supported. Thank you for helping us build a learning environment where every detail contributes to success!
