My Project

My students are eager, curious learners who come to school each day ready to do their best, despite the challenges many of them face outside the classroom. To support their learning, I’m requesting earbuds, pencils, pencil holders, dry erase erasers, and crayons. These supplies may seem basic, but they are essential for daily classroom activities. Earbuds will allow students to focus during digital lessons and testing without distractions. Pencils will help them stay prepared, while dry erase erasers will support active participation during whiteboard activities. Crayons and markers will allow students to develop art work with color.

Many of my students are unable to bring these materials from home, and having consistent access to them in the classroom will promote equity, independence, and a stronger sense of responsibility for their learning.

Your support will help create a classroom environment where every student has the tools they need to succeed.
