My Project

As a 6th grade teacher, I strive to create a classroom environment where all students feel safe, focused, and ready to learn.

Many of my students come to school hungry or distracted, which can make it difficult for them to stay engaged throughout the day.

Snacks help meet their basic needs so they can concentrate on learning. Fidget toys provide a quiet, constructive outlet for students who need to move or self-regulate during lessons, helping improve attention and behavior. Cleaning supplies are essential for keeping our shared space healthy and welcoming, especially during cold and flu season. These items may seem small, but they make a huge difference in creating a supportive and effective learning environment for every student.
