My Project
What I love most about my students is their resilience, curiosity, and willingness to show up and try—even when things are hard. They’re creative thinkers, deep feelers, and eager learners who thrive with the right tools and environment to grow.
Each resource in this project plays a role in supporting their success:
Hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes help keep our classroom clean and students healthy, reducing absences and allowing learning to stay on track.
Tissues offer comfort when students aren’t feeling their best but still want to participate.
Headphones help students focus during independent activities, especially those benefitting from quiet learning spaces.
Pencils and paper are the foundation for everything from note-taking to creative expression.
Dividers help students stay organized and create personal learning spaces during tests or focused work.
These supplies show students that someone believes in them enough to invest in their daily experience, and that kind of support can truly change a school year.
