My Project

I teach a group of bright, curious first graders who love to explore the world around them. As their math and science teacher, I’m always looking for ways to spark their imagination and deepen their understanding of key concepts. This project will provide hands-on tools and materials that support learning through exploration and problem-solving. I am requesting plastic coins, supply caddies, glue sticks, and other supplies and resources needed for an engaging and fun learning environment. With your support, my students will strengthen number sense, master 2D and 3D shapes, and investigate science topics like the parts of a plant and how things move. These resources will help me build a well-organized, engaging learning space where students feel confident and excited to grow. Your generosity will directly impact their daily learning and allow me to bring lessons to life in ways that are meaningful and memorable for each student.
