My Project

I’m starting fresh this year at a new school, and I’m excited to build a welcoming, engaging math classroom from the ground up. My students are bright, curious, and full of potential, but they deserve the right tools to help them thrive.

The resources in this project will help create a learning space where every student can stay organized, focus without distractions, and truly engage in hands-on problem solving.

With interactive math tools, storage solutions to keep materials close at hand, and small incentives to celebrate effort, my students will have what they need to feel supported and confident in their learning.

Your generosity will help me start this new chapter strong—so my students can, too.
