Tools for Little Learners With Big Dreams

Help me give my students an inviting space where they can read, write, and fully engage in learning. A cozy rug and cushions will make reading time special, while headphones will help every student focus during tech-based lessons.

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

A Cozy and Inspiring Space for Growing Readers

My students are full of energy, curiosity, and the desire to learn.

They deserve a classroom that feels welcoming, engaging, and inspiring — a place where they can grow not only as readers and writers but as confident learners.

With your support, I hope to transform our reading space into a cozy corner where students feel excited to dive into books during independent reading time. A soft rug and floor cushions will create a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes reading feel special.

We also need essential tools that help our day run smoothly — pre-sharpened pencils to minimize downtime, a dependable pencil sharpener, and pencil bags to help students stay organized as they move between classrooms.

Headphones are a critical need for tech-based learning activities, helping students focus and work independently. And with dry-erase clipboards, my students will be able to show quick understanding, collaborate with peers, and participate in flexible, hands-on learning throughout the room.

Every donation brings us one step closer to a classroom that supports comfort, creativity, and success. Thank you for helping make this vision a reality!
