My Project

As a newly graduated teacher embarking on my journey, I'm reaching out for support to provide my future students with the tools they need to succeed. This project is more than just acquiring basic classroom supplies; it's about laying the foundation for a dynamic and engaging learning environment.

In my list, I've found a selection of essential supplies, each meticulously chosen to enhance the educational experience.

From vibrant markers that will make the editing process an enjoyable task, to a diverse array of books spanning various genres, ethnicities, and cultures, I aim to cultivate a classroom where every student feels represented and valued.

But this project goes beyond mere materials. It's about finding a love for reading and learning through book clubs. By providing multiple copies of captivating books, I'm creating opportunities for my students to delve into rich literary discussions, broaden their perspectives, and develop critical thinking skills. Each term, these book clubs will embark on a transformative journey, exploring texts together, comprehending complex themes, and engaging in hands-on activities that bring learning to life while meeting core standards.

Your contribution to this project isn't just a donation; it's an investment in the future of education. By supporting me in equipping my classroom, you're empowering a new generation of learners to thrive, grow, and become tomorrow's leaders.

Ms. Henderson will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 21.
