My Project

I am seeking support to enhance my classroom for 8th-grade English and history students. The items in my cart will significantly impact their learning by fostering collaboration, organization, and engagement.

Classroom Carpet: Provides a cozy gathering spot, encouraging discussions and group activities, which promote a sense of community.

Mobile Storage Cabinet: Keeps materials organized and accessible, allowing students to focus on their work without distractions.

File Organizer: Helps students manage their assignments, reducing stress and teaching valuable time management skills.

Pencil Dispenser: Ensures easy access to writing tools, minimizing clutter and promoting independence in their learning.

Utility Cart: Offers flexible storage for supplies, making it easier to set up hands-on activities that enhance learning.

Storage Cabinet: Organizes art supplies, encouraging creativity and exploration through hands-on projects.

Pre-Sharpened Pencils: Provides quality writing tools, allowing students to concentrate on their ideas and express themselves effectively.

Dry Erase Markers: Ideal for interactive lessons, fostering engagement and collaboration during brainstorming sessions.

My goal for this project is to create an inspiring and resource-rich environment that empowers my students to succeed academically and develop essential life skills. My students are special because as primarily military family children, they bring diverse backgrounds and face unique challenges, and I want to ensure they have the tools they need to thrive.

Thank you for considering supporting our classroom!
