My Project

Hello! I’m a first grade teacher, and I’m working to create a more organized and effective learning space for my students. These young learners are building foundational skills in writing, reading, and responsibility, and the items in this cart will help them grow in those areas.

We’re asking for help to provide:

• Organizational tools to keep supplies neat and accessible

• Writing materials to support developing handwriting and creative expression

• Classroom essentials to create a calm, structured environment where students can focus and thrive

Every contribution—no matter the size—will make a real difference. Thank you for supporting our classroom and helping my students feel confident, focused, and excited to learn!
