My Project

I am thrilled to be teaching first grade this fall! First grade is such a magical time—a year filled with curiosity, growth, and discovery. I want to make our classroom a space where every child feels safe, supported, and inspired to learn.

To help create a warm and welcoming environment, I’m seeking donations to support our classroom.

With your help, I hope to provide cozy reading corners, flexible seating options, calming decor, and hands-on learning materials that will spark joy and creativity in our young learners.

Even the smallest contribution can make a big difference in making our classroom feel like a second home for these amazing kids. Whether it’s a book, a pillow, or a small rug, your support means the world.

Thank you for considering being a part of our classroom community. Your kindness will have a lasting impact on these young learners and their love of both school and learning!
