My Project

Our classroom is ready to level up, but we need the supplies to help us get there!

This project will provide essential classroom materials such as pencils, dry-erase markers and erasers, and magnetic sticky notes.

While these may seem like small supplies, they are materials my students will use throughout the school day.

Pencils allow students to complete assignments, solve problems, write their ideas, and show their learning. Dry-erase markers and erasers allow students to practice skills on whiteboards, quickly try different strategies, and learn from their mistakes without the pressure of getting everything right the first time. Magnetic sticky notes will allow us to create interactive displays, organize ideas, participate in hands-on activities, and bring our learning to life.

These supplies will help me create engaging learning experiences where students can write, practice, create, collaborate, and grow.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
