My Project

I am a first year teacher this year. During my student teaching, I absolutely adored all of my students for their boundless curiosity, resilience, and unique perspectives. What makes them truly special is their individuality and the diverse range of talents they bring to the classroom. Each student has their own story to share and a potential waiting to be unlocked. The 10 drawer cart and plastic drawer storage would be used for storing weekly work and supplies. Manipulatives, magazine holders, books, binder holder and all for the kids to storage things. Laminater is for Laminating posters and papers to keep them safe.

With the materials I have, I can create engaging lessons that cater to their different learning styles and interests.

Visual aids, interactive tools, and hands-on activities will enable me to foster a dynamic and inclusive learning environment. By incorporating technology, I can enhance their digital literacy skills and prepare them for the future.

Through these resources, I envision my students actively participating in collaborative projects, exploring real-world applications of knowledge, and developing critical thinking abilities. They will discover their strengths, boost their self-confidence, and learn to express their ideas effectively. These materials will help me cultivate a love for learning, inspire a thirst for knowledge, and ignite a passion for personal growth in each and every student.

When prospective donors envision the lessons I will teach, they can picture a classroom filled with excited faces, eager hands, and enthusiastic voices. They will witness the joy of discovery, the spark of creativity, and the profound growth that unfolds within these young minds. The impact of their support will extend far beyond the classroom, empowering my students to become lifelong learners, compassionate individuals, and future leaders in their communities.
