My Project
I absolutely love how curious, creative, and full of heart my first graders are. Every day, they walk into the classroom eager to explore, ask questions, and grow—both academically and emotionally. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring so many unique strengths and stories to our classroom community. What they all share is a desire to feel successful, supported, and seen.
The resources in this project will help meet their needs in meaningful ways.
Whether it's STEM materials that spark their love of building, math manipulatives that make numbers come alive, or basic supplies that allow every child to participate fully, each item plays an important role in creating a safe, engaging, and inclusive learning environment.
These materials will not only support academic growth but also help my students build confidence, independence, and joy in learning. Your generosity will truly empower these young learners to thrive, and for that, we are so grateful.
