My Project

My classroom is a vibrant mix of learners, each with unique needs and interests. To help every student thrive, I am seeking support for a range of resources that address academic learning, social-emotional growth, and classroom community.

What We Need:

Basic Supplies: Pencils, notebooks, and other essentials to ensure every student is ready to learn.

Snacks and Holiday Treats: To keep students energized and celebrate together throughout the year.

Revamped Prize Box: Special incentives for seniors to reward achievements and encourage positive behavior.

Pocket Constitutions: For government students to foster civic engagement and hands-on learning about democracy.

Stock Market Game: To help economics students understand financial literacy and real-world investing.

Pixton Comic Strip Maker: A creative tool for all students to demonstrate understanding in a fun, visual way.

The Economist Subscription: Providing up-to-date news and current events to connect classroom learning to the world.

Incentives & Birthday Recognition: To build a positive classroom culture by celebrating student milestones.

Social-Emotional Learning Supports: Materials and activities to help students manage stress and develop healthy relationships.

Holidays & Celebrations: Decorations and resources to honor diverse traditions and bring our school community together.

Why This Matters:

These resources will help me create a supportive and engaging classroom. Students will have the supplies they need, opportunities to celebrate each other, and access to tools that make learning meaningful and fun. By combining academic and social-emotional supports, I can foster a classroom where every student feels valued and empowered.

How You Can Help:

Your support will directly impact my students’ daily lives, providing them with the tools, incentives, and experiences they need to succeed. Thank you for helping us grow, learn, and celebrate together!
