My Students

We teach in a departmentalized setting where each student receives math, Language Arts, and social studies/science instruction from a different teacher. As a team, we are highly invested in the academic success of all our students in fifth grade!

Our students are fun, active, and curious!

They thrive when exposed to different types of instruction and activities.

We have students from a variety of backgrounds in our school. We thrive on the diversity that the military and university bring to our school and community.

My Project

Fifth graders are awesome! They are full of great ideas, creative thinkers, problem solvers, and doers! They are innovative and capable of doing great things! Everything it seems, except keeping track of their school supplies!

Please help our fifth graders continue to become better organizers!

By this time of the year, many of the nice, shiny, new supplies that came into the classroom in August have long since departed. Sadly, many of them end up on the floor at the end of the day, never to be claimed again!

My hope is that with organizers our fifth graders can keep better track of their supplies. If our fifth graders are spending less time looking for lost crayons, pencils, and supplies, we can get to our learning faster and make much better use of all our class time!

More organized fifth graders = more learning and less distraction and getting right to the "good stuff" and not stressing about where things are! Thank so much for considering helping with our class project!
