My Project

I have a wonderful group of lady leaders here at DMGLA! In 5th grade we complete amazing projects and are always using colored pencils. Colored pencils make our math learning so much easier when we can color code groups of numbers or volume problems. They also help with our essay writing and ELA assignments by allowing my students to go back through the passages and color code the text evidence that supports their answers. The seat covers will give my students somewhere to organize their everyday supplies and allow them to save time from searching through their desks or lockers for these items.

In 5th grade, we make learning fun!

These dry-erase boards will help when we are reviewing for understanding of the lesson. The water bottles allow my students to fill up before class and will help keep them hydrated and focused all day long.
