My Project

My 4th-grade classroom is full of curious, energetic, and imaginative learners who thrive when they have hands-on, engaging materials. We are a vibrant group at Kamali‘i Elementary who love exploring, creating, and learning together.

Many of my students are working hard to catch up academically while also building their confidence.

To support them, I’m seeking help to provide a variety of classroom materials that encourage creativity, organization, and joy in learning.

With your support, we can bring in watercolor paints and Magic Model clay for art-integrated lessons, markers and pens for expressive writing and drawing. Snacks help keep our brains fueled and focused throughout the day.

Organizers help students keep track of their work and supplies. Pattern blocks are for hands-on math exploration and problem-solving.

These resources will help my students feel inspired, stay organized, and be ready to learn each day. Your generosity will spark creativity, support focus, and make a real difference in our classroom. Thank you for considering a donation to our project!
