My Project

What I love most about my students is their curiosity, resilience, and the joy they bring to learning each day. No matter the challenges they face, they show up eager to explore new ideas and grow. They inspire me to be a better teacher, and I am constantly amazed by their creativity, kindness, and determination.

The resources like markers, crayons and glue that I'm requesting will directly support their learning by providing hands-on tools and engaging materials that make lessons more interactive and meaningful.

Whether it's books to build literacy, STEM kits to spark critical thinking, or art supplies to encourage self-expression, each item will help create a more dynamic and supportive classroom environment. These resources will not only strengthen academic skills but also build confidence and foster a love of learning that will stay with them for years to come.
