My Project

Why Someone Should Give to This Project:

This project provides essential classroom items—paper towels for cleanliness, snacks to fuel focus, and a Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) gift card for engaging educational resources.

These basic supplies help meet students’ physical and emotional needs, allowing them to feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. When students know their environment is clean, their teacher is prepared, and their hunger is addressed, they are more likely to feel calm, respected, and engaged.

How It Improves Climate and Environment:

A clean and organized space helps maintain hygiene and prevent the spread of germs, which is critical in a shared learning environment. Healthy snacks support students who may come to school hungry, promoting equity and helping everyone stay focused. Access to TPT resources allows the teacher to provide fresh, differentiated learning materials that meet students' diverse academic and emotional needs. Together, these items build a more welcoming, inclusive, and productive classroom climate—one where every student can thrive.
