My Project

Hello! I’m a first-year teacher excited to welcome a new group of amazing second graders into my classroom. As they begin this important stage of their educational journey. My goal for this project is I want to create a learning environment that is inclusive, welcoming, and engaging a place where every student feels seen, supported, and inspired to grow. I want to foster a love for reading and social studies by designing a classroom that sparks curiosity, celebrates diversity, and builds a strong sense of community.

With your support, I can provide materials and resources that will help make learning exciting and accessible for all of my students.

Thank you for helping me create a space where my 2nd graders feel valued, loved, and excited to learn and grow! Your support means the world to me and to the amazing students I’m lucky to teach.
