My Students

My fourth graders can be described as motivated, positive, and silly. They love a good hands-on, STEM project and a good pop-it fidget. They are a wonderful group of students who deserve my best every day. They truly brighten my day with their smiles and laughter.

My Project

Please help me gather basic art materials for my classroom. Our students deserve quality materials to create with. They use paint, ink, etc as a way to appropriately express themselves while in school. It is discouraging to create an expressive lesson only to have the materials be used up and in bad quality. In turn, we have to give them practice using these materials in order to teach them the responsibility that comes along with taking care of them and using the materials correctly. We need to give them experiences with these materials.
