My Project

In just the first few weeks of school, my fifth graders have already shown me exactly what our classroom needs.

This project is our ultimate “We Have an Answer for That!” wish list—filled with supplies that solve everyday problems and make learning more hands-on, organized, and memorable.

For math, students will use centimeter cubes, magnetic blocks, magnetic tiles, and a volume kit to build and model three-dimensional figures. Dry-erase boards, markers, erasers, wipes, and timers will support daily problem solving, partner work, and small-group instruction.

Everyday classroom supplies—including pencils, binders, sheet protectors, laminating pouches, storage bins, tape, magnetic clips, and correction tape—will help students stay organized and keep reusable materials ready for learning.

This project also addresses needs that can quickly interrupt a student’s day. Bottled water and healthy snacks will be available for students who arrive without them. Bandages and instant cold packs will help with minor bumps and scrapes so students can quickly return to learning.

Our 3D printer filament and hot glue sticks will be used to create models, STEM materials, learning tools, and classroom projects.

Finally, the portable speaker, microphones, fog machine, fog fluid, and colored lights will help bring lessons to life through student presentations, review games, science simulations, and immersive classroom activities.

Whether a student needs a pencil, a snack, a math model, or a science lesson that feels unforgettable, I want our classroom to be prepared.

With your support, we can create a classroom where students have what they need to learn, build, create, explore, and confidently say, “We have an answer for that!”

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
