My Project

Greetings. My rising third grade students are curious, resilient, and full of potential. They come to class each day eager to learn, even when they face challenges outside of school. They inspire me with their creativity, their kindness toward each other, and their determination to try again when things get tough.

How These Resources Will Help

The supplies I’m requesting—[dry eraser markers, whiteboards, erasers, splash mats, reusable pocket dry eraser]—will give my students the tools they need to fully participate in lessons, show their work, and take pride in their work. These resources will help create a student earning environment where every student has what they need to explore new concepts, develop their skills, and feel confident in their abilities. With these materials, my students can focus on learning instead of worrying about what they’re missing.

Thank you for providing every student a quality education.
