My Project

Help me give my students essential tools to build independence and organization in the classroom. The colorful caddies will help them take responsibility for their supplies, while the pocket chart will make math lessons hands-on and engaging. With book pouches, students can safely carry books and homework between school and home, encouraging daily reading habits and family involvement. These resources will create a more structured learning environment where students feel confident, capable, and cared for.

Your support will help foster lifelong learners who love reading, math, and learning together.

With these materials, students will take ownership of their supplies, engage in hands-on math learning, and develop daily reading habits that strengthen their literacy skills. Your gift helps create a calm, structured environment where learning can flourish and students can focus on what truly matters—growing their minds and hearts. We are deeply grateful for your belief in our journey.

Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness. Your support will help transform our classroom into a space where students feel organized, confident, and excited to learn each day.
