My Project

As a first-grade teacher in an underserved community, I always hope to create a classroom environment where every child can thrive, and achieve to their fullest potential.

One of the biggest challenges we face is helping our students stay focused during independent work and testing.

With all the excitement and energy that comes with being six or seven years old, it's easy for students to become distracted, which can make it harder for them to do their best work.

That's why I'm reaching out for your support. We're in need of noise-canceling headphones and privacy dividers to help our first graders concentrate and work distraction-free. These tools will make a world of difference in our classroom, allowing each student to focus better on their tasks and feel more confident during tests.

Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to providing these helpful resources. Your generosity can have a lasting impact on our students' learning experience. Thank you for considering a contribution to our classroom—together, we can help our first graders achieve their full potential.
