My Project

How This Project Will Help

This project will provide essential classroom materials that support organization, instruction, hygiene, and literacy engagement:

Student Desk Supports: Pencil name tags with alphabet, number lines, rulers, and color references help students independently access academic supports throughout the day.

Organization Tools: Accordion file organizers allow me to securely store IEP documents, assessments, student work, and intervention materials for quick and efficient instruction.

Classroom Hygiene: Tissues, hand sanitizer, and paper towels help maintain a clean and healthy learning environment so students can focus on learning.

High-Interest Books: Popular graphic novel collections such as Captain Underpants, Dog Man, Cat Kid Comic Club, and Marvel titles motivate reluctant readers, build reading stamina, and encourage a love of literacy.

These materials will be used daily during whole-group instruction, small groups, independent practice, and reading time.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
