My Project

What I love most about my students is their incredible curiosity, kindness, and resilience. Each day, they come to school eager to learn, explore new ideas, and support one another through challenges. Their creativity and enthusiasm light up the classroom, making it a place full of energy and growth. Despite facing many obstacles outside of school, they show remarkable strength and a genuine desire to succeed, which inspires me as their teacher every day.

The end-of-year gifts and holiday celebration items will provide my students with more than just presents they will offer moments of joy, connection, and celebration with their families during important times of the year.

These resources will help foster valuable social skills such as teamwork, sharing, patience, and cultural understanding.

By engaging in these activities, students will continue to develop both academically and personally in a fun and meaningful way. This support not only reinforces what they learn in the classroom but also helps build confidence and a strong sense of community at home and school. Giving these gifts means giving my students a chance to create happy memories, feel appreciated, and experience the warmth of celebrations every child deserves.

We are asking for a 100 Days of School Bead Kit, beach balls, bubble wands, fidget sensory toys and school crowns.
