My Project

For my project, I am creating care items and resources that will allow my 4th-grade students access to hygiene and other items they may not have access to otherwise. Many of my students come from disadvantaged circumstances, and this project would allow them to find care beyond my classroom.

My priority for the year is to provide a safe space for each of my students to feel secure and loved in their learning.

This is my first year teaching, so I am starting completely from scratch for certain supplies.

On top of hygiene and care products, I'm looking for storage solutions and comfort items for my students within the classroom, such as books, bins, and pillow seating.

Thank you for looking at my project!
