My Project

This year, I have had the privilege of serving 23 amazing low-income students. They are creative, hardworking, and full of curiosity. Every day, they show resilience and a love for learning, even when faced with challenges. They inspire me with their determination and the pride they take in their growth.

As we approach the end of the school year, many of our classroom supplies are running low or are worn out from daily use.

Through this project, I am requesting clipboards, colored pencils, markers, and organizer bins to help my students continue learning in an organized, engaging way. The clipboards will allow them to comfortably write and work anywhere around the room, encouraging movement and flexible learning. The colored pencils and markers will help them complete creative projects, anchor charts, and visual assignments that bring our lessons to life. The organizer bins will help maintain a neat, structured environment, giving students easy access to materials and teaching them responsibility and independence.

Additionally, I am requesting teacher and parent communication folders to prepare for next year's students. Strong communication between home and school is crucial for student success, and having these folders ready will help us start the year organized and connected from the very first day.

Your support will not only help replenish our classroom to finish this year strong but will also help me set the stage for another group of wonderful learners next year. Thank you for considering a donation to our classroom family!
