My Project

I am anticipating another challenging year ahead with 35 kids on my 4th grade roster…the most I’ve had in my 21 years of teaching.

I’d love to expand my class library and get more high interest class sets of novels in the hands of my students.

The novels that I chose go along with our district ELA curriculum. I’d love another heavy duty pencil sharpener as I anticipate the one I have will be VERY busy this year! Long jump ropes for recess would be help to bring back recess jump roping fun!
