My Project

I am seeking funding for essential items to enhance learning in our First Grade classroom. My diverse group of students, with varying abilities and needs, will benefit greatly from social-emotional books that teach empathy and self-regulation. These stories will foster discussions about feelings, creating a supportive classroom environment.

Additionally, sensory regulation tools like noise-canceling headphones, lap blankets, and sensory fidgets are crucial for students who may experience sensory overload.

These items will help them focus and engage more effectively in learning activities.

I also aim to provide hands-on learning experiences to cater to different learning styles, fostering curiosity and a love for learning. My ultimate goal is to create an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered. With your support, we can equip them with the tools they need to thrive academically and socially, making a lasting impact on their educational journey. Thank you!
