My Project

What I love most about my students is their energy, curiosity, and eagerness to learn. As a first-year 5th grade teacher, I want to create a classroom environment that feels calm, structured, and focused so my students can thrive. I’ve quickly learned that classroom organization plays a huge role in helping students stay on task and feel secure. When materials are easy to find and the space is clutter-free, students are better able to focus, participate, and take ownership of their learning.

This project will provide essential organizational tools like desk and drawer organizers, a rolling cart, magnetic file holders, dry erase marker storage, and more.

These resources will help me keep student materials in designated spaces, create clear routines, and reduce time spent managing clutter. With an organized classroom, transitions become smoother, instruction becomes more efficient, and students can spend more time doing what matters most—learning and growing. Your support is helping me build a space where my students feel confident, capable, and ready to succeed every day.
