My Project

I absolutely love the enthusiasm and curiosity my students bring to the classroom every day. Their eagerness to learn, explore, and grow makes teaching a rewarding experience. Each student is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and dreams. They are full of potential, and my goal is to create an environment where they can thrive and feel supported.

Snacks will help eliminate hunger during school, allowing them to stay focused, engaged, and energized without the distraction of feeling hungry.

The resources I'm requesting will directly enhance their learning experience. The mixing bowls and spoons for our class cooking activities will give students the hands-on experience of working together in the classroom, learning about teamwork, measurement, and nutrition. These activities foster creativity and help develop practical life skills.

The 3-hole punch and EZ Grader are essential tools to replace worn-out items and keep our classroom running smoothly. The 3-hole punch will allow students to stay organized and easily maintain their work, while the EZ Grader will streamline grading and give more time for one-on-one interactions with students, giving them the feedback they need to improve.

My goal for this project is to ensure my students have the resources they need to succeed—whether that’s through staying energized, learning through hands-on activities, or having efficient tools for organization and assessment.

What makes my students special is their determination, curiosity, and resilience. They face challenges with a positive attitude and never stop asking questions. They’re always excited about new projects, and I’m eager to provide them with the resources to make those experiences even more meaningful.
