My Project

The materials I’ve requested will play such an important role in our daily classroom routine. Everything in this project will be used during small group time, where students work closely with me on targeted skills, get extra practice, and engage in hands-on, meaningful activities that help them grow academically and socially.

I’ve also included snacks, like Pop-Tarts, to keep in the classroom for students who may come to school hungry or need a little boost to help them focus and feel ready to learn.

Too often, students are distracted by hunger, and having something simple on hand to offer them helps them feel cared for and able to concentrate on their work.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps create a more supportive, welcoming, and engaging learning environment where all students can thrive. Your generosity ensures my students have what they need to succeed and feel confident and valued each day.

Thank you for believing in my classroom and for helping to make a difference in the lives of my students!
