My Project

My goal with this project is to provide a chance to make a tangible difference in my students' lives. I would like to provide resources and experiences that enhance their learning journey. My project isn't just about acquiring materials; it's about opening doors to new possibilities and expanding horizons.

Every classroom has unique needs, and my project aims to address those specific challenges.

Each item on my list has been carefully selected to enrich my students' education and create a more dynamic learning environment. The books meet my students at their level and provide motivation to develop their reading skills. The other items would help provide a classroom environment that is calm, comfortable, and reinforces risk-taking! My students deserve access to the best possible resources and experiences, regardless of their background or circumstances.

I want to give my students every advantage, and every opportunity to succeed and thrive. This DonorsChoose project, will help take a proactive step towards realizing that vision.
