My Project

As a first-year first-grade teacher, I am seeking donations to help equip my classroom with essential resources that will foster an engaging, inclusive, and effective learning environment. Individual white boards for students will promote interactive learning and provide a fun way to practice writing and math skills. Personal headphones for each student will support the use of educational technology and personalized learning programs, helping to maintain a quiet environment and allowing students to focus on their individual tasks without distraction. Additionally, incorporating American Sign Language (ASL) signage in the classroom will create a more inclusive environment for all students, especially those who are hearing impaired. This signage will help promote awareness and understanding of ASL, fostering a sense of community and inclusivity. Your support in providing these materials will greatly enhance the learning experience for my students.
