My Project
The items I’m requesting—the CVC crayon center, the rocket letter and number center, puzzles, puzzle storage, and glue—will provide my students with engaging, hands-on learning experiences. These tools will help them strengthen foundational skills like letter and number recognition, problem-solving, and fine motor development. The CVC crayon center will encourage vowels, while the puzzles and storage system will promote critical thinking and organization. Each resource has been chosen to foster active participation and make learning fun and meaningful.
My primary goal is to create a classroom environment where every student feels excited and empowered to learn.
By incorporating these interactive resources, I aim to enhance my students’ engagement in literacy, math, and creative activities. I also want to promote collaboration and independence, allowing my students to explore concepts at their own pace while building confidence in their abilities.
My students are bright, curious, and hardworking. They thrive on hands-on experiences and are eager to explore, create, and grow. Their resilience and enthusiasm inspire me. Providing them with these resources will help unlock their potential and nurture a lifelong love of learning.
More than half of students from low‑income households
