My Project

As a first-year 4th-grade math teacher, I’m building a classroom where my students can be organized, engaged, and confident in their learning. To make math interactive and meaningful, I’m requesting basic but essential supplies that will help us stay focused and hands-on throughout the year.

With colorful Expo markers and plenty of copy paper, I’ll be able to create notes and anchor charts that grab attention and help students retain information.

Construction paper will let us build foldables for vocabulary and problem-solving steps, while fraction manipulatives will bring abstract concepts to life through touch and movement.

An organized classroom is a productive one! A storage cart and rolling cart will help me keep homework, graded papers, and supplies in order—giving students a consistent, clutter-free environment. I’m also asking for notebook paper for daily work and cleaning supplies to help us stay healthy and proud of our space.

Your support will directly impact our daily routines and our ability to stay focused and excited about math. These materials may seem small, but they’ll make a huge difference in how we learn, grow, and shine this year. Thank you for believing in our classroom!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
