My Project

How will the specific items you’re requesting make a difference in their learning?

The class rug will create a cozy, inviting space where students can gather for group activities, discussions, and read-aloud sessions.

This comfortable environment encourages collaboration, active participation, and a sense of community within the classroom. The book of science vocabulary building reads will introduce students to key scientific terms in an engaging and accessible way, strengthening their vocabulary and comprehension in science. This combination of resources will help students feel more connected to their learning environment and more confident in their understanding of complex scientific concepts.

What are your goals for this project?

The primary goal of this project is to enhance the learning experience by providing a dedicated, comfortable space for group interactions and equipping students with the tools they need to succeed in science. By fostering a love for learning and helping students build a strong science vocabulary, the project aims to create a foundation for academic success in science and beyond. I want my students to feel supported, engaged, and inspired every day.

What makes your students special?

My students are curious, eager to learn, and full of potential. They come from diverse backgrounds, each bringing unique perspectives and experiences to the classroom. Despite any challenges they may face, they consistently demonstrate resilience and a passion for discovery. Their enthusiasm for learning and their willingness to support one another make them a truly special group. By investing in their education, we’re helping them realize their potential and empowering them to achieve great things.
