My Students

My fourth graders are the sweetest little lovebugs you'll ever meet! They come from various backgrounds and cultures, with different levels of previous knowledge. This is the first year they are transitioning between classes for all of their core subjects, and I want to help them stay organized by purchasing book bins for them.

They are working hard to become independent learners and thinkers with guidance and encouragement from their teachers.

It is my goal to set them up for success in all of the new, exciting experiences they will face in fourth grade.

My Project

I am requesting book bins for all of my 76 fourth grade students. They transition multiple times a day within their core classes. These book bins will help them keep their materials organized as well as help them move throughout the school building without fear of dropping all of their supplies.

Having a personal book bin to carry their materials, books, pencil case, and other supplies will make them feel more independent as well as give them a sense of pride in their belongings.

My students love the feeling of being organized and neat. I would love the opportunity to help them with their organizational goals. My lovebugs work hard everyday, and are excellent role models for our school.
