My Students

I teach at a title one charter school. My students impress me with their determination to learn and work hard each day. Our favorite class saying is, "I can do hard things." My students are amazing!

My students love learning and it is my goal to provide them with a positive and enriching 4th grade experience.

My Project

Help my students get excited about their reading. My project has books that will help my students have a growth mindset and persevere through their education during this pandemic.

My students are going to be beyond excited when they get to read their new books and magazines!

I can't wait for my students to get to use these new supplies. The Scholastic news magazines will help my students get excited about reading current events. They need poster board to complete their Utah country research projects and to display their research at the 4th grade Utah play. We love learning about Utah history in 4th grade. Over 80% of learners are visual learners so I'm constantly creating anchor charts that create a visual for what standards my students are learning. We need the post it easel pad pages to create these posters. I plan to use the giant timer to help my students manage their time and be efficient during their assignments. We love to use white boards for our lessons so that I can access student's learning. We need mini erasers to have quick and efficient way to erase and show more work. We need small timers for the students so that they can time each other in their fluency skills. The books will help my students grow their love for reading and work on their growth mindset. My students will love having an automatic stapler so they can turn in their work efficiently without staplers getting stuck. These supplies will help my students learn and grow.
