Building Brains

Help me give my students resources that will make a meaningful impact on my students’ learning experience, helping them stay engaged, inspired, and ready to succeed. If you’re able, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support. Thank you!

My Project

The resources I’m requesting will help create a more engaging and supportive learning environment. Basic supplies will ensure every student has the tools they need to fully participate each day. Flexible seating will help students who need to move or shift their posture stay focused and comfortable while learning. Hands-on materials like assorted balls will make learning more interactive and meaningful. Classroom decorations will help the students feel as they are at home. These resources will not only support academic growth but also help students feel valued, safe, and excited about learning. Thank you for believing in them!
