My Project

I am going to teach another amazing group of 6th graders who will come to school every day with curiosity, resilience, and so much potential. They’re at a pivotal stage—not quite kids, not quite teens—navigating academic challenges and personal growth all at once. What I love most about them is their sense of humor, their growing independence, and the kindness they show when they feel safe and supported. Each one of them deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and empowered every single day.

Why I’m Requesting These Materials:

To help make our classroom a more engaging, welcoming, and effective learning space, I’m requesting a few essentials:

•Birthday supplies so every student can feel special and valued on their big day.

•Classroom decor to create a bright, positive atmosphere that invites learning and community.

•A teacher planner and clicker to help me stay organized and keep lessons running smoothly.

•Academic games and whiteboards for interactive, hands-on learning that keeps students excited and involved.

•Individually wrapped hard candies as simple, safe incentives to encourage focus, effort, and participation.

These items will help me create a classroom where students feel celebrated, supported, and motivated to do their best. With your support, I can build not just a room—but a learning experience—that helps every child thrive.
