My Project

I absolutely love my first-grade students! They are mostly curious, eager to learn, and full of enthusiasm every day. However, several students come from poverty and have special physical and emotional needs and need extra help with day-to-day organization and motivation.

The resources we’re requesting will make a significant difference in their learning.

The storage carts will help keep their decodable readers and other supplies organized and easily accessible. This will allow them to focus on their learning without the distraction of disorganization. Having all their materials ready at hand will save time and create a more efficient and calm classroom environment. The headphone storage will keep headphones in one place, ensuring that each student has the tools they need for independent work, especially during reading or listening activities. The magazine holders will help keep our classroom books organized, making it easy for students to select books that are at their reading level and fostering a love for reading.

The bookmarks and toys for behavior and academic rewards will motivate students to work hard and stay focused on their goals. Rewarding positive behavior and academic progress with small, fun incentives helps build confidence and reinforces good habits. These items will not only improve classroom organization but also help maintain a positive, motivating environment where each student feels encouraged to do their best.

My goal for this project is to create a classroom environment where students feel empowered to take ownership of their learning. With better organization and motivational rewards, they’ll be able to focus more on their academic growth and behavior.

What makes my students special is their enthusiasm and their resilience. They are a group of young learners who thrive when they feel supported and recognized for their hard work, and these resources will help me provide that support.
