My Project

What I love most about my students is their resilience, curiosity, and sense of humor. They show up each day read to learn, even when life outside of school presents challenges. They inspire me with their determination and remind me daily of the importance of creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive space for every child.

The resources I'm requesting will meet both their practical needs and their ability to fully engage in learning.

Charging ports will ensure their devices are powered and ready for classwork, keeping them connected to digital resources and assignments. Pads, snacks, and deodorant will help students feel comfortable, cared for, and confident, allowing them to focus on their education without worrying about basic needs. Finally, an adult chair for myself will help me take care of my own health so I can give my best energy, attention, and care to my students throughout the day.

These items may seem small, but together they can create a classroom environment where student feel supported, respected, and ready to grow academically and personally.
