My Project

I love how curious, kind, and full of energy my second graders are. Every day, they come into the classroom with big hearts, eager to learn, help each other, and explore the world around them. They ask thoughtful questions, cheer each other on, and celebrate even the smallest victories—whether it's spelling a tricky word or mastering a math fact. Their excitement is contagious, and they remind me daily why I love teaching.

Basic supplies like pencils, crayons, glue sticks, and notebooks may seem small, but they make a huge difference in our classroom.

Crayons bring our stories and science projects to life. Pencils help us practice handwriting and work through our math problems. Glue sticks help us create interactive journals that let students express their learning in creative ways.

Having these tools on hand ensures every student—regardless of their background—can fully participate in class activities, feel prepared, and take pride in their work. Your support helps create a classroom where every child feels valued and empowered to do their best.
