My Project
I absolutely love how curious, creative, and full of energy my students are. Each day, they come to school eager to learn, and it’s a joy to watch them grow both academically and personally.
Using musical instruments in the classroom brings reading to life in a way that truly engages them.
Rhythm and sound help my students build phonemic awareness, fluency, and expression—especially for those who learn best through movement and music. It turns reading time into a fun, hands-on experience that helps them connect with stories on a deeper level.
Chair pockets are another valuable resource. They help my students stay organized and responsible for their learning materials. With everything in one place—books, folders, and supplies—they spend less time searching and more time learning. These tools support a calm, focused classroom where every child can thrive.
Together, these resources help create a joyful, structured, and supportive learning environment where each child can shine.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
