My Project

My 4th-grade students are a curious and energetic group who love exploring new ideas and stories. The items I’m requesting include a wide variety of books, ranging from beginner Level 1 and Level 2 readers for students who are still developing their skills, to engaging chapter books like Nancy Drew, Goosebumps, and Ballpark Mysteries to challenge more advanced readers. Additionally, I’m requesting bookmarks, binders, clipboards, laminating sheets, and a rolling cart for storage to help organize and keep our classroom library accessible. To further support our learning environment, I’m also requesting an adjustable teacher’s desk and computer stand to keep materials and resources organized as I work with students throughout the day. These resources will foster a love of reading, enhance literacy skills, and provide the structure and tools needed for an efficient and inspiring classroom. With your support, my students will have everything they need to feel empowered, engaged, and ready to succeed.
