My Project

As my teaching journey is taking off, I want my students to enter my classroom eager to learn. My goal for this project is to provide my students with the necessary resources, and materials to enhance our learning environment. Next year will be my first full year in the classroom, therefore I do not have any school supplies, and most of the stuff I need will have to be funded by myself. The items that I have in my project were things I wish my teachers in the past would have had to make our classroom more interactive. For example, in my project you see pencils, crayons, notebooks, a pencil sharpener, and many more daily tools that my students will use. I think it is very important that I start getting items that I need for my classroom before the new school year begins so that I can create an organized and effective teaching and learning environment. This will allow me to establish routines, prepare instruction, and create a classroom centered around student engagement from day one.

My students and I will greatly appreciate all donations made to our project.

Your contribution will make a direct impact on my students learning experience, as it will allow me to provide them with the resources they need in order to thrive.
