My Project

My fabulous fourth graders love being creative. I have so many drawings, cards, and crafts around my room that they have made for me this year.

Being able to create items related to our topics of learning would help bring our learning alive.

Students would be able to create 3D shapes and patterns they are learning about. We can design and create organizers for different areas of our classrooms, and models of characters in our story. Students would also be able to create fidgets and calming tools that fit their needs.

I love to add new technology and learning opportunities to keep learning exciting for my students. 3D printing would be able to help me take this to the next level.
