My Project

My students are curious, creative, and eager to learn. These resources will help me build paper-based projects that reduce supply costs for families while promoting hands-on, critical thinking activities. Journals support personal reflection, folders help guide structured learning, and the document camera and Eco Tank printer make lessons more engaging and accessible—especially for ELL students and those needing visual support. My goal is to create an inclusive, academically rich classroom where all learners feel supported, challenged, and celebrated. Your generosity will empower young minds and make a lasting difference in a classroom designed for exploration and growth.

Your support brings this vision to life.
