My Project

Every school year I love setting up my students for success! This starts with ensuring that they have the right tools for learning that includes everything from highlighters to fidgets to refreshing our reading area.

I’m seeking support to create an engaging and organized learning environment for my fourth grade students.

With your help, I hope to provide essential classroom supplies such as easel pads, pencils, highlighters, and math notebooks that will support daily learning and build strong academic habits.

Additionally, a cozy rug for our library area will encourage a love of reading, while updated classroom décor will help create a welcoming and inspiring space for all learners. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in our classroom community!
