My Project

I absolutely love how curious, energetic, and creative my students are. Each day, they come to class ready to learn, ask questions, and support one another like a true learning community. They are full of potential, and with the right tools, there’s no limit to what they can achieve.

The materials in this project will help create a classroom environment where learning can flourish.

Clipboards will allow students to work anywhere in the room, making lessons more flexible and engaging. Crayons, markers, and construction paper will fuel their creativity during writing, art, and collaborative projects. Dry erase markers and erasers will make math and reading practice interactive and reusable.

The pencil sharpeners, tissues, disinfecting wipes, and mini fridge will help keep our room clean, comfortable, and ready for learning. Bandages and labeled bins will support students’ independence and safety. From basic supplies to little comforts, each item plays a role in helping my students feel prepared, valued, and excited to learn every single day.
