My Project

At the heart of my classroom community are the students, each with their unique talents, perspectives, and potential. What I love most about my students is their boundless curiosity, resilience, and eagerness to learn. They inspire me daily with their creativity and enthusiasm for knowledge.

Every resource I'm requesting, including desk organization tools, paper, markers, fan and Kleenex, collectively contribute to nurturing their growth and fostering a dynamic learning environment.

These items help create a space that is not only organized and conducive to focus but also well-equipped for hands-on learning, creative expression, and basic hygiene needs.

With an ever-shrinking budget of around $40 for the entire year, the burden falls completely on me for any and all classroom materials. This makes the support from our community even more crucial in ensuring that my students have the resources they need to thrive. My primary goal with this project is to create a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and supported in their learning journey. By providing these resources, I aim to cultivate a sense of belonging and empowerment, equipping my students with the tools they need to succeed academically and beyond.

Ms. Walters will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 26.
