My Project

This is my first year teaching 4th grade and my third and final year as a Beginning Teacher! Fourth grade is an important bridge year, when students are learning to think more critically, tackle bigger challenges, and become more independent learners. I want my classroom to be a place where kids feel safe to make mistakes, take risks, ask questions, and try again. These supplies such as paper trays and flexible seating, high interest chapter books, and colorful markers will give my students the physical tools they need to learn, create, problem-solve, and confidently take on all that fourth grade has in store for them.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
