My Project

As I strive to provide the best possible learning environment for my students, this opportunity will help enhance my students' educational experience by providing them with tools that are necessary to help focus during a class that many students seem to disengage in.

By helping fund this project, you can provide my students with the resources they need to thrive.

With the Pandemic in the rear view mirror, students' mental health is still my top priority. So many students struggle with their mental health in a time when funding is at an all-time low. My door is always open to students at my school who need a safe, relaxing space. I provide so much time and dedication to students who have some of the toughest stories. Whether during instructional time or breaks, students should not have to suffer from a lack of resources, especially those that can greatly benefit their mental health and, in turn, their learning.

Comfortable seating plays a crucial role in creating an inviting and conducive atmosphere. By introducing comfy chairs into my math classroom, I aim to foster a more relaxed and collaborative environment where students can engage in discussions, work on group projects, or simply unwind while studying complex mathematical concepts. These areas will offer flexibility in seating arrangements, allowing students to choose the setting that best suits their learning preferences and needs.

In addition, it's no secret that sustained focus and concentration are essential for academic success. However, hunger and thirst can often become distractions, especially during lengthy math classes or study sessions. By providing snacks and refreshing drinks, I can ensure that my students remain energized and attentive throughout lessons. Your generous contributions will directly impact the daily experiences of my students, creating a more inviting and supportive learning environment.
