My Project

It's now nearing the end of the school year and things are looking dire. No pencils, no glue, broken lights, and floors with gunky stains you're sure are alive. My students deserve a clean and warm space to learn and relax without feeling like an inconvenience by asking for a pencil when they know we are running low. They deserve a room with color rather than four white walls and gunky, stained floors.

I plan to use these materials to give back to my students.

Specifically, my students will use pencils, scissors, and glue for projects, notes, and whatever they may need. I plan to give my students the opportunity to learn with educational posters that cover content and standards specific to our curriculum. I plan to give these children a room they feel at home in with the poster border and string lights. I plan to keep these kids healthy by using the floor cleaner to wipe up the accumulated stains, spills, and gunk. I plan to better myself for my students by using the organizational folders to remain collected and prepared.

Help me give these students a classroom they feel welcome in.
