My Project
The resources I’ve selected, such as vibrant Crayola crayons, markers, and a Montessori crayon holder, will make a significant impact on my students' learning by fostering creativity and organization. These art supplies provide hands-on opportunities for students to express themselves, improve fine motor skills, and engage in projects that enhance both their cognitive and emotional development. The crayon organizer will help students stay organized, allowing them to focus on their projects without distraction. Additionally, the electric crayon sharpener will ensure that materials are always ready for use, supporting a smooth and uninterrupted learning experience.
My goal for this project is to create an organized, creative, and supportive classroom environment that nurtures students' artistic talents while promoting perseverance and self-expression.
By providing these tools, I aim to give every student the resources they need to excel in their learning and feel empowered in the classroom. The 96 backpacks I’ve included will also help ensure that all students are equipped with the essentials for a successful school year.
What makes my students special is their unyielding perseverance, diverse backgrounds, and unique perspectives. No matter which students I have next year, I know they will approach their learning with determination and a positive attitude. They inspire me every day, and I am excited to see how they will use these resources to reach new heights in their academic and personal growth.
More than half of students from low‑income households
