My Project

The items I have chosen will benefit all my students in our 4th grade classroom.

Use of the small floor chairs will provide flexible seating for working with partners throughout the day during various activities.

The art supplies will be for students who do not have access to the materials to help create presentations. One example would be to create a poster board about native Americans of Colorado.

Finally, the stem materials will be used in science and for exploration. Students can make 3d objects for math using the magnetic tiles to show understanding of mathematic concepts.
