My Project

I love that my students bring so much personality, curiosity, and determination into the classroom every day. They learn best when they feel calm, supported, and able to express themselves in ways that work for them.

The storage drawers will help us stay organized, making supplies easy to find and giving students a sense of order in a busy classroom.

The fidget tools and Bouncy Bands will provide quiet, stress-relieving outlets, allowing students who need movement to focus without distraction. These resources will give my students the tools they need to manage their energy, stay engaged, and feel comfortable while learning.

With your support, our classroom will become a place where students can focus, collaborate, and feel confident knowing they have what they need to succeed.
