Empowering 5th Graders with Planners for Success and Organization

My Project

My students are bright, energetic, and full of potential. As 5th graders, they’re learning to juggle multiple responsibilities—assignments, projects, deadlines, and personal goals. One of the best tools I can give them to support their growth is a student planner.

Planners help students stay organized, develop time management skills, and take ownership of their learning.

With a personal planner, each student can track homework, important dates, and class expectations—all in one place. This also strengthens the connection between home and school, giving parents a clearer window into what’s happening in the classroom.

Many of my students don’t have access to these resources at home, and I want to ensure each child has the same opportunity to build lifelong habits of responsibility and independence. With your generous support, I’ll be able to provide every student in my class with a high-quality academic planner to guide them through a successful school year.

Thank you for investing in their growth and helping to shape confident, capable learners.
