My Project

My second-grade kiddos are the best and deserve the world. I want to do all that I can to help my students feel successful! I work in a school where most of the students qualify for free or reduced meals. I have amazing parents, but I want to continue to provide my students with the best possible education. I want to provide my kiddos with a new rug for our classroom library so that they can have comfort and flexible seating choices to best fit their learning styles.

I want to inspire and instill a love of reading and freedom of choice by providing my kiddos with a comfortable, cozy rug where they can read a good book or break out STEM resources to unleash their creativity.

I would love to be able to provide my students with the learning resources needed to enrich our curriculum and allow students the chance to create, build, and collaborate.

I know my students would appreciate the value added to their educational experience.
