My Project

Three months in, and we are feeling good! This project will help us refine our classroom's organization and productivity, especially now that we have gotten into our routines and know exactly what we need.

The items I’m requesting—noise-canceling headphones, timers, organizational supplies, and cleaning materials—will make a big difference in their learning.

Noise-canceling headphones will help them focus in a busy classroom and block out distractions. Timers will give them more structure and reduce overwhelm by breaking tasks up into shorter parts. Organizational supplies will keep their materials tidy and easy to find, which helps them stay focused. Cleaning supplies will keep our classroom clean and comfortable, creating a healthier space to learn in.

My overall goal is to create an environment where my students can thrive—where they have everything they need to succeed.
