My Project

Creating a welcoming and comfortable learning environment is key to promoting student success, and the pencil thumbs, toothbrush pencil holders, pencils, pencil sharpener, and colored pencils I'm requesting for this project plays a significant role in achieving that goal. In my classroom, organization is key! This small but impactful change helps my students stay engaged and organized so they are ready to learn!

Supplies such as pencils, sharpener, and organizational tools will increase student learning and make my kiddos more successful.

STEAM is such an important educational aspect in primary school kiddos. I strive to use STEAM education by involving them in hands-on, high-interest projects that promote observation, problem-solving, and teamwork.

By replenishing essential classroom materials, I can ensure that my students are equipped for success every day, with everything they need to fully participate in lessons. When students have a routine and easy access to necessary materials, it reduces interruptions and allows them to stay focused on their learning. Your support in providing these supplies will help set my students up for success and provide them with the tools to reach their full potential.
