My Project
To support a more inclusive and engaging learning environment, I’m seeking donations for classroom items that promote flexible seating, calm lighting, hands-on tools, and better organization. My classroom is filled with bright, energetic learners from very diverse backgrounds, and each student brings unique needs, strengths, and learning styles. These resources will help create a space where all students feel comfortable, respected, and ready to learn.
In a room full of movers, wigglers, and imaginative thinkers, flexible tools make all the difference.
Items like floor cushions and fidgets give my many active learners the freedom to move and focus in ways that work best for them. Flexible seating helps reduce restlessness and supports focus, while tools like fidgets provide sensory input without disrupting the flow of learning. Replacing harsh overhead lights with a floor lamp and desk lamps will also create a more calming atmosphere, which is especially helpful for students who are sensitive to stimulation or may feel overwhelmed in traditional settings.
To keep our space functional and supportive, I’m requesting dry erase markers, Crayola markers, organization bins, filing systems, and a filing shelf. These basic tools will help bring order to our busy classroom and give students easy access to the materials they need to succeed. With your support, I can build a warm, creative, and organized environment where every child—no matter their background or energy level—can thrive.
