My Project

My students are eager, curious, and full of potential. Every day, they come to class excited to learn, collaborate, and grow. To support their engagement and success, an organized and well-equipped classroom is essential. Many of my students face challenges outside of school, so I strive to create a structured, supportive learning environment where they can thrive.

To maximize classroom efficiency and student engagement, I am seeking support to obtain essential materials that will help organize our learning space and enhance interactive instruction.

With colorful paper folders, students can keep their assignments and important papers neatly organized, fostering responsibility and preparedness. Magnetic folder bins will provide designated storage for classroom materials, ensuring easy access and a clutter-free workspace.

Acrylic dry erase marker holders and dry erase markers will support daily interactive learning activities, from brainstorming sessions to problem-solving exercises. Acrylic sign holders will display instructions, learning objectives, and student work, reinforcing clear communication and a sense of pride in learning.

To maintain our classroom whiteboards—central to our daily lessons—we need dry erase cleaning spray and magnetic erasers to keep them clear and ready for learning.

By funding this project, you will help create a more organized, engaging, and efficient learning environment, giving students the tools they need to stay on track and succeed.

Thank you for considering a donation to support my students' learning experience. Your generosity will make a lasting impact on their education and organizational skills!
