My Project

A new school year is a fresh opportunity to create a positive, organized, and welcoming classroom. With your support, I can provide my students with the tools they need to feel confident, cared for, and ready to learn.

This project will help me stock our classroom with essential materials, including glue, paper, student incentives, organization systems, and little details that build classroom community—from birthday surprises to behavior notes that celebrate success.

These resources will support a warm, structured learning environment where students feel seen, encouraged, and ready to thrive academically and emotionally, every single day.

Ms. Jones Miles Jones Elementary School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
