My Students

I am a first year teacher looking for supplies for my classroom! I want to give my fourth grade students as much as I can and make this year a great one, so I could use some help with buying supplies. My students are a wide range of learners, and I want to be able to provide what I can to meet all of their needs. I was added to the 4th grade team due to a large number of students coming into the grade this year, so there are very few supplies for me to utilize.

My Project

I am a first year teacher who is in need of classroom materials to help my students learn! My classroom was previously for technology and music, so there are not many materials that will help me give my students what they need. Because I just graduated from college, I need help with funding for my classroom. The easel and paper will help my students move around when learning and give me flexible small group options to teach my students what they need whenever and wherever they need it. The writing and art materials will allow my students to be creative with their work in my classroom. I strive to allow my students to express themselves and work hard to reach all of my learners who have different needs, so these materials will help my classroom run smoothly.
