My Project

My students are eager to learn. I strive to create a classroom environment that supports focus, comfort, and creativity. With your help, I’d love to provide a rug for whole-group reading time, a cozy chair for independent reading, and tools like play dough and chair bands for students who need sensory support. Desk dividers and privacy folders will help us stay focused during tests and assignments, and a dependable pencil sharpener will keep us ready to work. These resources will help my students stay engaged, reduce distractions, and feel excited about learning every day.
