My Project

My students are curious, resilient, and hardworking learners who come into the classroom each day with a wide range of strengths and needs. They thrive when provided with structure, encouragement, and meaningful supports that help them stay engaged and access learning successfully. What makes them especially special is their determination—they continue to try, grow, and participate even when tasks are challenging.

The specific items in this project will make a direct and meaningful difference in their learning experiences.

The books will strengthen reading comprehension, vocabulary, and social-emotional skills such as kindness, empathy, and perseverance. Classroom organization tools will create a more structured and predictable environment, helping students focus, transition between activities, and access materials more independently. Snacks and reward items will be used as positive reinforcement to increase motivation, participation, and on-task behavior, while hygiene supplies will help ensure a clean, safe, and comfortable learning environment where students can thrive.

My goals for this project are to increase student engagement, build independence, and support both academic and social-emotional growth. With these resources, I hope to create a classroom where all students feel supported, motivated, and successful as learners.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
