My Project

I love how eager, imaginative, and full of potential my students are. They come to school each day ready to learn and grow, and I want to make sure their classroom is a space that supports that enthusiasm. My goal for this project is to create a well-equipped 2nd-grade classroom that meets their academic needs while also encouraging creativity, collaboration, and curiosity.

The specific items I’ve requested will directly support our daily learning and enrichment activities.

Crayons and headphones will help students stay engaged during lessons, especially during independent reading, writing, and technology time. The STEM kits will allow us to dive into hands-on learning every Friday, giving students a chance to explore, build, and solve real-world problems together. These materials will bring lessons to life and provide the structure and tools they need to succeed.

What makes my students special is their resilience and excitement for learning, no matter the challenges they face. With your help, I can give them a classroom that reflects the high expectations I have for them and the belief I have in their success.
