My Project

My 6th-grade students are full of energy, personality, and potential. They come to school eager to learn, even when they’re facing challenges at home or in the community. What I love most is how they support one another and keep pushing forward, no matter what.

The resources I’m requesting will help build a classroom environment where they can stay focused and feel proud of their work.

Flexible seating will allow students to choose a space where they feel comfortable and ready to learn. Basic supplies like folders, pencils, and dry-erase boards will keep us organized and engaged in our lessons. High-interest books will help even my most reluctant readers connect with stories and build their confidence. Every item will play a part in helping my students grow not just as learners, but as thinkers and leaders.
