My Project

My students attend a Title I Visual Arts and STEM Magnet School and bring creativity, curiosity, and resilience into the classroom every day. As a first-year 5th grade teacher, I’m eager to provide an environment where they can explore, grow, and feel confident in their learning.

These resources will help create a classroom where all students feel seen, supported, and empowered.

The books will enhance literacy and spark imagination. Flexible seating will give students choice and comfort to stay engaged. Basic supplies will ensure every student has what they need. My goal is to build a joyful, inclusive space where learning feels exciting and meaningful.
