My Project

As a first-year teacher in Texas, I’m stepping into my 4th grade English Language Arts and Reading classroom filled with excitement, determination, and a deep desire to create a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for my students. Starting out, I’m building my classroom from the ground up and that means even the most basic supplies can make a world of difference.

This project is focused on classroom necessities: essential materials like pencils, paper, markers, folders, tissues, disinfecting wipes, and hand sanitizer.

These simple items help keep learning running smoothly and our space healthy and clean.

Many of my students come from diverse backgrounds, and I want every single one of them to feel cared for and supported the moment they walk through our door. By helping meet our classroom’s basic needs, you’re not just giving supplies: you’re giving comfort, confidence, and consistency to kids who are eager to learn and grow.

Your support means more than I can say. Thank you for believing in me and in the students I’m so proud to teach.
