My Project

Next year, I have the privilege of looping with many of my amazing 3rd graders as they transition into 4th grade with me! We’ve built a strong classroom community, and I want to give them the best possible start in our new space.

To help create a welcoming and focused environment, I’m requesting a few essentials, including a classroom carpet where we can gather as a group for morning meetings and lessons, high-quality pencils with strong erasers (ours always wear out or break!), pencil grippers to support developing handwriting skills, and durable headphones for i-Ready lessons and state testing.

I would like a big desk so I can be better organized at standing-height to support my students under the document camera, some new books in a series they LOVE so I can better foster their reading skills, and board games to help motivate team-building during our soft-start time.

These simple tools will make a big difference. The carpet will give us a shared space to build community, the pencils and grippers will support writing confidence, and the headphones will help students focus and do their best during independent work and assessments.

Your support will help us start the year with confidence, comfort, and the tools we need to succeed. Thank you for investing in our learning and growth!
