My Project

This project will help me create a clean, organized, and welcoming classroom environment by providing essential back-to-school supplies. Air purifier filters will ensure fresh air; hand soap and tissues will support healthy habits; Lysol spray will keep surfaces sanitized; and seat cushions and a classroom calendar will add comfort and structure. These basic items might seem small, but they make a big difference—helping us start the year with a space that's calm, clean, and ready for learning.

A fresh and well-equipped classroom sets the tone for the entire school year.

For my young readers, many of whom struggle with decoding or phonemic awareness, distractions from discomfort or clutter can hinder progress. A cozy cushion can help a squirmy student stay focused. A clean table can turn into a safe space for literacy growth. And a classroom calendar helps us build routine and rhythm. Your support will not just stock my shelves—it will help create a joyful and productive space for readers to thrive.
