My Project

Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive in a classroom that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and confidence. In my classroom, I will strive to create an environment where students feel seen, supported, and challenged to reach their fullest potential—regardless of their background or circumstances. Many of my students face barriers that extend beyond the school walls, but with the right resources, we can turn those barriers into stepping stones. Your support helps me bring engaging, hands-on learning experiences into our room—tools and materials that spark interest, deepen understanding, and build lifelong skills.

Help me give my students a meaningful classroom experience!

As a first year teacher I am asking for help getting the basic things (paper trays, magnetic tiles, brain flakes and books) needed in a classroom. As a first year teacher I am trying my best to create a classroom where every child feels loved and supported! I appreciate anyone who can help me create that for my students!
