My Project

I love that my students are curious, creative, and full of energy! They are eager to learn, but sometimes the classroom environment makes it hard for them to focus and stay organized. Many of my students thrive when they have a clean, calm space to work and tools that support different ways of learning — whether that’s sitting comfortably, accessing technology, or having supplies neatly stored and easy to find.

That’s why I’m asking for drawers, cushions, and technology to help create a more organized, flexible, and engaging learning space.

The drawer organizers will give students a place to keep their materials tidy and easy to access, which will help cut down on wasted time and distractions. The cushions will give students flexible seating options so they can choose where and how they learn best — whether they need a cozy space to read, a soft seat to work in a group, or a quiet spot to focus. Finally, the technology will bring lessons to life! It will give students the chance to research, collaborate, and create projects that go beyond paper and pencil — making learning interactive and exciting.

My goal with this project is to create a classroom where students can focus, feel comfortable, and stay engaged in their learning. I want every student to feel like they have a space that works for them — whether they need quiet focus or creative collaboration.

My students are special because they work so hard to do their best, even when faced with challenges. They deserve a classroom that helps them shine, and with your support, I know we can create that space together.
