Write, Read, and Shine: Essentials for Our Classroom

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Correa's classroom raised $243

My Project

What I love about my students is their energy, curiosity, and resilience. Every day, they come to school ready to learn, ask questions, and support one another. They’re eager to grow, and they thrive in a classroom that is welcoming, organized, and engaging.

Each of the items in this project is selected with my students’ needs in mind.

The electric pencil sharpener will keep our classroom running smoothly so students can stay focused on their work without long waits or broken pencils.

The dry erase board and whiteboard cleaning spray will help make lessons interactive and visual, allowing students to participate actively during instruction and group activities. The book will encourage a love for reading and add diversity to our classroom library. The magnetic math signs will provide clear visual support during math lessons, helping students understand and remember important math concepts. The neon light will brighten our space and make our classroom feel fun, welcoming, and like a place they’re excited to enter each day.

These small but powerful tools will help us build a classroom that supports learning, creativity, and joy.
