This project had a significant impact on my students and the overall learning environment in our classroom. As a first-year teacher starting with very limited supplies, receiving basic but essential materials like whiteboards, dry erase markers, erasers, pencils, and a pencil sharpener made a world of difference. Because I work with students at various educational levels, having these supplies allowed me to better differentiate instruction and tailor activities to each student's needs. These resources supported both independent and group learning, helping students grow in confidence and capability.
