My Project

The more we know, the better we will be! A little motivation goes a long way too. These posters would be hung up in the classroom and the 4th-grade hallway! The environment and climate issues come up often throughout the day in my classroom. These books will be a great addition to our classroom library and encourage more thoughtful conversations. Students are always asking questions and wondering about our planet. We need seeds! We have a large greenhouse in our classroom and always grow seeds. We like giving small little plants to our friends and other teachers as appreciation gifts. Classroom Bluetooth speakers would be a wonderful addition to our classroom technology.

We care about the environment, climate, and planting seeds!

These items would be a wonderful addition to our science curriculum and classroom activities! We hope you can contribute to our project. It would make our classroom even more special!
