My Project

As a first-year teacher, I am so excited to build a warm, welcoming, and engaging classroom for my students! To foster strong foundations in reading, writing, and math, I’m requesting essential supplies that will help bring learning to life—manipulatives for hands-on math (addition and subtraction), sight word resources to build early literacy skills, and tools to support writing development.

To keep our classroom organized and functional, I’m also including storage solutions so students can easily access materials.

These resources will create a joyful, structured environment where every child feels excited and empowered to learn!

With your support, I can fill our classroom with the tools needed to spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence in my students from day one. Thank you for helping me create a fun-filled space where learning truly comes alive!
