My Project

I absolutely love my students' curiosity and resilience. Despite the challenges they face, they come to school eager to learn and grow. My students are creative thinkers, problem solvers, and dreamers who inspire me every day. They deserve the tools and resources that will help unlock their full potential.

The items I’m requesting—document camera, phonics dominoes, and supplies—will create a more engaging, interactive, and inclusive learning environment.

For example, the document camera will help me to project an image or activity on the screen so that all students are seeing it at the same time and can engage in conversations about what they are seeing, the domino blocks will provide hands-on learning opportunities that can help students remain focused. These resources are not just materials; they are bridges to new knowledge and opportunities that my students wouldn’t have access to otherwise.

My goal is to use these resources to improve literacy, critical thinking, and collaboration skills. With the right tools, I can better tailor instruction to meet each student's unique needs while making learning fun and meaningful.

What makes my students special is their determination to succeed, even when faced with obstacles. Many of them come from underserved communities and lack access to basic learning tools at home, but they show up every day with incredible enthusiasm and hope. With your support, we can ensure they have the resources they need to thrive and build a strong foundation for their future.
