My Project

In our 4th grade classroom, math is hands-on, engaging, and filled with exploration. We use rulers, protractors, calculators, shape blocks, cubes, and fraction circles to help students grasp important math concepts. These tools are essential for building understanding—but without a proper storage solution, they're often hard to find and difficult for students to access independently.

We’re requesting a sturdy storage shelf that will serve as a central hub for all our math manipulatives.

With organized bins and clearly labeled sections, students will be able to easily grab what they need for lessons, group work, or independent exploration—and return everything to its place when they're done.

Having all our math tools in one accessible, organized location will save time, reduce distractions, and encourage responsibility. Most importantly, it will help our 4th graders confidently engage with math in a way that’s active and meaningful.

Thank you for supporting our classroom and helping us stay organized so we can focus on learning!
