My Project

My students are curious, energetic, and eager to learn each day. They come to school ready to grow academically, socially, and emotionally, and I work hard to create a classroom environment where every child feels safe, supported, organized, and excited to learn.

The resources in this project will help strengthen both learning and the classroom community.

The dry-erase markers, paper, laminating sheets, and organizational materials will support daily instruction, small-group learning, independent work, and hands-on activities across all subjects. The chair pockets and storage organizers will help students keep their materials organized and accessible, allowing us to maximize learning time and reduce distractions.

The social-emotional learning tools will help students build confidence, express their feelings, strengthen communication skills, and develop positive relationships with peers. These resources are especially important because many students benefit from extra support in managing emotions and building self-confidence in the classroom.

The tissues, disinfecting supplies, and air fresheners will help maintain a clean and comfortable learning environment where students can stay healthy and focused throughout the school year. The snacks will also support students who may need a quick snack during the day so they can stay energized and ready to learn.

Your support will help create a welcoming classroom where students can feel cared for, prepared, and motivated to succeed every day.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
