My Project

Many students come to my classroom looking for a place to be accepted for who they are. In middle school, they are trying to navigate that and learn as well. My students and I work together to find their voice and make meaning of the world around them. With your helpful donation, I am hoping to modernize my traditional classroom while continuing to keep it a safe, comfortable, and inclusive space for all kinds of learners to explore and find confidence within themselves to advocate for themselves and be proud of who they are. The books on my list will inspire my students to advocate for themselves. The rug and bookshelves will create an inviting space for students to explore literature. The chair socks will foster a thoughtful space for everyone. Thank you for choosing to help me make that possible!
