My Project

Hello, and thank you for taking a look at my DonorsChoose project!

I love how excited my students are to learn, especially at the start of the school year.

The items I'm requesting—electric pencil sharpeners, dry erase markers, whiteboard erasers, a drawer organizer cart, pencil erasers, and scissors—will create a more organized and efficient classroom, allowing students to focus on learning without unnecessary distractions. These resources will enhance their engagement in hands-on activities, support their academic development, and help them correct mistakes quickly, fostering a positive learning environment. My goal is to ensure that every student has the tools they need to thrive, making our classroom a place where their unique potential can flourish. Your support will make a big difference in their learning journey.
