My Project

In a busy and engaging elementary classroom, organization is key to student success. I am seeking funding to provide each student with a personal zippered pouch to store essential learning tools like pencils, highlighters, reading texts, and interactive notebooks. These pouches will help students stay prepared, reduce wasted instructional time spent searching for materials, and promote responsibility and independence.

Many of my students share supplies or come to school without the necessary materials to fully participate in classroom activities.

While I work hard to provide equitable access to resources, we often struggle with misplaced or unorganized materials, leading to distractions and lost learning time.

Zippered pouches will serve as personal supply kits for students, making it easier for them to locate what they need quickly and take ownership of their materials. This simple solution can have a powerful impact on classroom management, student confidence, and overall instructional efficiency.
