My Project

My students at our elementary school have taught me more about life, hustle, determination, and resilience than I could ever learn in a book or course. For many of them, school is the only place they feel truly safe and heard. I would love for my students to be able to utilize these materials in the classroom this year: markers, pencils, alphabet beads and stamps, chalk, ten frames, special prizes, Social Emotional books, clothes pins, buttons, craft materials, and much more to help them become stronger readers, mathematicians, and responsible little adults!

I want to create a learning environment where my students can thrive and have just as many opportunities and resources as other boys and girls their age living outside the Overtown neighborhood.

I would love to provide my students with sensory rocking chairs, and literature about self-regulating and how to control emotions well. To do this effectively, I am also asking for an easel, whiteboard, whiteboard markers, and several books about becoming a person of character and integrity.

I want the quality of the academic resources that I have in my classroom to show the students that education matters, they matter, and their learning matters! Please consider donating to play a role in saying, "Your learning matters and so do you!"
