My Project

As a first-year teacher in the middle of the school year. Every day is an adventure, and I am dedicated to creating a vibrant and engaging learning environment for my students.

I have recently launched a project on DonorsChoose to enhance our classroom with hands-on manipulatives, tools that I believe will ignite a passion for learning and foster a deeper understanding of key concepts.

As a first-year teacher, I am eager to provide my students with every opportunity to explore, discover, and learn through interactive experiences.

Manipulatives such as alphabet rockets play a crucial role in making abstract concepts tangible, and your support can make a significant difference in our educational journey. Your donation will directly contribute to the creation of a dynamic classroom where students can actively participate in their learning, reinforcing key ideas through tactile experiences.

I invite you to be a part of this exciting venture by contributing to our project. Your generosity will not only impact my first-year teaching experience but, more importantly, it will positively influence the educational journey of each student in my classroom.
