My Project

As a first-year sixth-grade teacher, I am striving to create a classroom environment where learning is hands-on, collaborative, and engaging. Your generous donations will help bring that vision to life. With your support, I’ll be able to stock our classroom with essential art supplies and versatile tools that allow students to express their creativity and deepen their understanding through project-based learning.

The items on my list will support group activities that build communication and critical thinking skills.

Whether students are working together to design a model, solve a real-world problem, or explore a topic through interactive projects, these supplies will help make those experiences more meaningful and successful.

I’ve also included resources to support flexible seating options, which are key to creating a comfortable and adaptable learning space. Giving students the ability to move, choose where they work best, and collaborate easily with peers leads to a more inclusive and productive classroom.

Thank you for considering a donation—every item helps create a learning environment where students feel inspired, empowered, and excited to learn each day.
