My Project

As we continue our learning journey this school year, I’m reaching out to kindly request your support in providing some essential items for our classroom. These items will help ensure a comfortable, organized, and healthy environment for all students.

Many students often arrive at school hungry and having a small snack available, helps them stay focused and engaged in lessons.

Donations of individually wrapped snacks, such as crackers, granola bars, or fruit cups, will make a big difference in their ability to concentrate and learn.

Cold and flu season is always a challenge and tissues are frequently needed throughout the day. Keeping tissues stocked ensures that students can manage any sniffles or allergies without disruption to their learning.

As part of our math curriculum, word problem cards are an excellent resource for helping students develop their problem-solving skills. These cards will allow students to practice applying math concepts in real-world contexts, improving their critical thinking abilities.

Rubber bands are essential for organizing classroom materials, from sorting supplies to creating activities for the students. Having an ample supply will allow for smooth transitions and a well-organized classroom.

With fluctuating classroom temperatures, a portable neck fan will provide me with a quick way to stay cool and comfortable while I’m teaching, especially during warm days when ventilation is limited.

Hand Sanitizer: With hygiene being more important than ever, hand sanitizer is a necessary item to maintain a clean and healthy environment. It helps students quickly sanitize their hands, reducing the spread of germs.

Your generous donations of any of these items would be greatly appreciated and help ensure our classroom runs smoothly and comfortably.

Thank you so much for your continued support!
