My Project

I love my students’ curiosity, creativity, and eagerness to learn real-world skills that will benefit them for a lifetime. They come to class excited to engage in hands-on activities, whether it’s exploring child development through play-based learning, experimenting with food science, or developing essential life skills in nutrition and wellness.

The resources I’m requesting—Kleenex, stickers, glue guns, Mac adapters, cleaning supplies, Play-Doh, balloons, and more—will make a huge difference in their learning.

Play-Doh and balloons will enhance child development lessons, allowing students to understand sensory play and fine motor skill development. Glue guns and stickers will support creative projects, while Mac adapters will ensure access to digital resources. Cleaning supplies will help maintain a safe and hygienic learning environment, and even something as simple as Kleenex keeps our classroom comfortable and functional.

My goal for this project is to create an engaging, well-equipped classroom where students can actively participate in learning without worrying about lacking supplies. My students are special because they are not just learning from textbooks—they are applying their knowledge in hands-on ways that prepare them for careers, families, and healthy futures. With your support, we can continue to make learning interactive, meaningful, and fun!
