My Project

I absolutely love my 2nd graders! They are curious, creative, full of energy, and eager to learn. Many face challenges with reading comprehension and writing. Having the right resources can make a world of difference. That’s why I’m requesting cardstock and plain paper for our classroom.

The plain paper will give students opportunities to practice writing and drawing, building confidence in their abilities.

The cardstock will provide a durable option for special projects, posters, and creative assignments that allow students to express themselves while strengthening their learning. Both types of paper will be used for activities, from story writing and illustrating to making educational posters.

My goal for this project is to provide students with the tools to succeed and feel proud of their work. These resources will support their development in writing, creativity, and classroom participation. With these supplies, my students will improve their skills and gain confidence.

What makes my students special is their resilience and enthusiasm. They may face challenges but are eager to try again, ask questions, and support one another. With your help, I can give them the resources they deserve to make their learning experience as enriching as possible.
