My Project

The items in my DonorsChoose project will provide essential resources that foster a dynamic and inclusive learning environment for my students. By equipping our classroom with tools that support creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, these resources will help ensure that every student, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to engage deeply with their learning. With these materials, students will be able to explore new ideas, build confidence, and develop skills that are crucial for success both in school and beyond. Comfortable seating and music helps to keep students invested and engaged in their learning!
