My Project

My students thrive in environments that are clean, welcoming, and organized. As we prepare for the 2025–2026 school year, I want to give them a classroom that supports both their learning and well-being. To make this possible, I’m requesting basic materials like storage bins, cleaning wipes, bulletin board borders, and classroom decorations. These items will help me maintain an organized, vibrant, and hygienic space that motivates students to do their best every day. I teach an incredible group of diverse learners who come to school each day full of curiosity and excitement. They benefit greatly from structure, consistency, and a learning space that feels like a second home. Whether they’re working independently or collaborating in groups, they deserve a classroom that inspires learning and reflects care.

Plastic storage bins will be used to organize supplies, learning centers, and student materials.

The disinfecting wipes will help keep shared surfaces clean and safe. Lastly, the bulletin board borders will refresh learning displays and celebrate student work, and the classroom decorations will be used to build a fun, inviting, and themed learning environment

These supplies will help me start the school year strong and maintain a beautiful and functional space throughout.

A clean and organized classroom reduces distractions and fosters a sense of pride and ownership in students. Fresh borders and colorful decorations also make the room visually engaging, boosting student morale and enthusiasm. Most importantly, these materials will allow me to spend more time focused on teaching and less time managing clutter or upkeep.

Thank you for helping make my classroom a place where students can shine!
