My Project

My project Back to School, Already? is preparing for September. I know I can't believe it but I am trying to be prepared. Many of my students do not have the basic supplies so I try very hard to have all students to be on the same playing field. If they all have the basic supplies they need it is setting the ground for a successful school year.

All my students have the ability to succeed and I want them to have all the tools and skills to do so.

Organization is a must in fifth grade because next year they will be switching all classes. So I have ordered materials to help teach organization such as color-coded composition books, dry-erase markers, and pencil cases that can be placed in their binders.
