My Students

Fourth grade is a time where wonder and curiosity shine. My students are excited to explore, create, and build their knowledge across all subject areas.

Enthusiasm and the joy of learning shine through all that my students do.

They are ready to dive into any task with excitement and expectation. My students come from many backgrounds. Importantly, they work together for common goals. This is supported by a strong culture of respect and learning that is woven throughout our school.

My Project

Developing a joy and love for learning is a goal of my teaching. I know that my students are hungry to explore and understand the world around them. The materials in my project will support this curiosity as my students learn and create while building their knowledge.

The Learning Science Activity Tubs and STEM non-fiction book set will go hand in hand as students experiment and learn more about science topics.

The magnifying glasses will increase interest and allow the students to focus in on observations. The colored pencils and ball set will allow further exploration of all science topics.
