My Project
I’m lucky to work with an incredible group of students who are curious, motivated, and passionate about learning. Each day, they come to class eager to explore new ideas, develop their skills, and challenge themselves. They bring unique perspectives to our classroom, creating an environment where creativity and collaboration thrive. What I love most is their ability to support one another whether they’re tackling a tough problem together or celebrating each other’s victories.
Snack Items (Chips & Gatorade):
Learning is hard work, and keeping my students energized throughout the day is crucial. Providing snacks like chips and Gatorade will give them the boost they need to stay focused, especially during long study sessions. Healthy snacks and hydration can help improve concentration, and I know that when my students are physically refreshed, they are more engaged in their learning.
Ping Pong Balls & Paddles:
In addition to their academic success, my students benefit from having opportunities to unwind and bond with their peers. Ping pong is a great way to build teamwork, encourage friendly competition, and give students a chance to destress.
Teacher Supplies:
As a teacher, I strive to provide a rich, hands-on learning experience for my students, but I can’t do that without the right supplies. From markers and paper to classroom organization materials, these resources will help me create a classroom environment that supports both individual and group learning.
Game Controllers for the Student Lounge:
The student lounge is a space where students can relax, bond, and have fun after a long day of learning. Adding game controllers will allow them to engage with one another in a fun, interactive way. Whether they’re teaming up for a video game or simply having some downtime, this addition will provide students with another outlet for relaxation and stress relief.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
