My Project

In my fourth grade classroom, I feel that it is important that students are able to have fun while learning. I like to incorporate several hands-on learning activities to enrich my lessons and allow my students to have fun while getting extra practice with the skills that are needed. Students have a higher chance of retaining information when they are engaged in an activity that they enjoy.

As we continue into the second semester of our year, I want to guarantee that my students have everything they need to become successful.

Replenishing the supplies that we use daily can be daunting, but there are several supplies that we are running low on. My students are in need of new pencils, erasers, dry erase boards and markers. We are also at the time of the year where Kleenex are a must! Thank you so much for your support.
