My Project

This project will help stock my classroom with essential supplies and motivational tools that are often taken for granted. These items seems small, but they will make a huge difference in the daily classroom experience. Having these materials available eliminates stress for students who can't always bring their own supplies and helps maintain a smooth, respectful, and productive classroom culture.

This project will support not only academic learning but also emotional well-being.

A clean classroom with needed supplies helps students feel safe, respected, and motivated. When students know their classroom is cared for, they are more likely to take pride in their work and behavior.

Many of my students come from low-income households, and they don't always have access to basic school supplies or resources. Still, they never use that as an excuse. They are full of resilience, energy, and potential. They come to school each day with a desire to learn, grow, and do their best. What makes them truly special is their kindness towards one another, their eagerness to try new things, and the joy they find in even the smallest classroom victoires.
