My Project

I love my students for their resilience, creativity, and eagerness to grow. They are a diverse group of learners who come from various backgrounds and experiences, each bringing their unique perspectives to the classroom. What makes them special is their determination to succeed despite the challenges they face, both academically and personally.

The specific items I’m requesting—snacks, pencils, color cardstock, and markers—will play a significant role in creating a nurturing environment where students feel supported emotionally and mentally.

Snacks help address a basic need, ensuring no student is too hungry to focus, while pencils provide the tools they need to actively engage in their learning. Color cardstock and markers allow for creative expression during activities related to social emotional learning (SEL) and restorative justice, helping students express themselves and connect in meaningful ways.

My goals for this project are to promote positive mental health, foster social emotional growth, and implement restorative justice practices in my classroom. By giving students access to these resources, I hope to create a safe, supportive space where they can develop essential life skills such as empathy, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution.
