My Project
My goal is to create a classroom environment where every child feels excited to learn and has the tools to succeed. I want to help my students develop critical foundational skills in math, literacy, and problem-solving while fostering creativity and curiosity. By incorporating these manipulatives, I aim to meet each child where they are, making abstract concepts easier to understand and encouraging active participation.
The items I’m requesting will provide my students with engaging, hands-on tools that make learning tangible and fun.
The Lock and Key Counting Toys and 75 PCS Magnetic Number Bonds Set will help develop crucial math skills, including counting, number sense, and understanding number bonds, through interactive play. The Skoolzy 26 Cars ABC Alphabet Learning Toys with a 15-Piece Felt Track and Kids Wooden Number Block Toys will blend literacy and numeracy with motor skill development, helping students explore letters, sounds, and numbers in a meaningful way.
My students are a truly remarkable group of learners. They are creative, curious, and full of energy, each bringing a unique spark to the classroom. They come from diverse backgrounds and have a wide range of interests, from animals and sports to art and science. What makes them truly special is their eagerness to learn and their resilience in overcoming challenges. They inspire me every day with their ability to thrive when given opportunities to connect their learning to the things they love.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
