Basic Classroom Materials For Learning And Teaching

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. B's classroom raised $1,642

My Students

My class of 30 fourth grade students this year is full of leaders! They are bold and enthusiastic about learning new things. They enjoy reading books and engaging with hands-on projects.

They are unafraid to share their opinions and analysis.

They thrive in collaboration and enjoy the company of each other!

It's a close-knit group, always ready and willing to go out of their comfort zone. Most of them need extra help with literacy and work on reading fluency and comprehension. This year, I plan to address that specific need.

My Project

This project will help our class in two ways. First, this will provide me the necessary materials to teach both in-person and in distance learning. It includes items such as whiteboard markers/erasers that I will use every day; adhesives, clips, and magnets that I will use to post announcements, objectives, classwork; pocket charts and poster boards that I will use in teaching content to the students. Second, this project will provide students with essential materials for everyday activities such as using a stapler, puncher, pencil sharpener, construction papers, and more. The nameplate pockets will be for assigning tables, materials, and resources that they will use.

The materials will be used both by students as they learn new knowledge and skills every day in class and myself as I teach.

The drawers will be to store both student and teacher materials while the toolkit will be to build or fix anything in the class.
