As a 5th grade math teacher, I absolutely love how curious, creative, and full of potential my students are. They come to class eager to explore, question, and grow—not just in their math skills, but as problem solvers and collaborators. I strive to create a classroom environment that supports their energy and enthusiasm with structure, organization, and hands-on learning opportunities.
The resources I’m requesting will directly support this mission:
Storage bins will help us stay organized, ensuring that materials are easily accessible so we can spend less time managing clutter and more time engaged in learning.
STEM materials will give my students the chance to apply math in exciting, real-world ways—building, testing, and revising designs while developing critical thinking and teamwork skills.
Velcro dots will help with flexible classroom setups, allowing students to personalize their learning spaces or help organize materials in a tactile, visual way.
Wire holders for charging stations will keep our devices safely stored and ready to use, helping us smoothly integrate digital learning tools without distraction or downtime.
LED lights will add a touch of excitement and creativity to our space—whether highlighting student work, creating calming areas for focus, or just making our room feel more inviting.
Every item on this list supports a classroom that is not just functional, but inspiring. Thank you for helping us create a space where learning is organized, engaging, and full of possibility.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
