My Project

I teach an incredible group of 5th graders at a low-income school, and every day they amaze me with their resilience, curiosity, and eagerness to learn. Despite the challenges they face outside the classroom, they come in ready to engage, explore, and grow. My goal is to provide them with a well-equipped, organized, and comfortable learning space where they can thrive.

The supplies I’m requesting—basic school materials, organization tools, and improved lighting—will make a world of difference.

Many of my students struggle to get their own supplies, so having these resources ensures that every child has what they need to fully participate in learning. Organizational items will help create a structured, clutter-free environment, making it easier for students to focus. Soft lighting will transform our classroom into a warm and inviting space, reducing eye strain and creating a calm atmosphere that supports concentration and creativity.

As a teacher in a low-income school, I strive to create an organized, engaging, and well-equipped learning environment for my students. This project will provide essential supplies such as pencils, markers, and storage solutions to keep our classroom functional and efficient. A standing desk and bookcase will support differentiated learning spaces, while timers and lamps will enhance focus and time management. These resources will ensure my students have the tools they need to stay motivated, engaged, and successful. Your support will make a meaningful difference in their daily learning experience!
