My Project

My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Children love imagination and creativity.

They are very resourceful with making sure environment is organized and accessible. Bins will truly help keep us organized so students can easily access the materials. The paper towels and disinfectant wipes will help to keep the classroom clean and organized.

The pencils will be used for arts and crafts from drawing in science, math, and social studies. The books will be used to give students inspiration to create art projects that represent diverse students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
