My Project

As a dedicated educator, I strive to create a classroom environment that inspires and supports every student. One of the most important areas in my classroom is the small group table and surrounding desk area — it’s where I provide targeted instruction, one-on-one support, and foster meaningful connections with my students. Unfortunately, this space is currently outdated and not as welcoming or functional as it could be.

I’m seeking support to revamp this area with comfortable seating, updated furniture, and organizational tools that promote focus, collaboration, and engagement.

By creating a warm, student-friendly atmosphere, I can better support diverse learning needs and make every student feel valued and encouraged during small group sessions. I will have a space to store daily items that are needed with the cart, and be able to put quick activities in the small plastic boxes.

With your help, this space can become a vibrant, inviting hub of learning where students feel safe, supported, and motivated to succeed. Thank you for considering a donation that directly impacts student growth and confidence.
