Essential Items to Rock Fourth Grade

Help me give my students everything they need to start the year off right

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sears's classroom raised $591

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help welcome me and my class to fourth grade by giving them the supplies they need to succeed. They will need name tags, stationary supplies, and a fun addition to our class culture, desk pets!

Desk pets will be a fun incentive to encourage love, care, and responsibility.

Students will be able to choose a desk pet by earning points for being safe, respectful, and responsible. I am so excited to introduce this reward.

I can use some more drawing tablets to add to my supply since I will have more students. The class will need all the supplies I requested to sustain their amazing year of writing, drawing, learning, and growing in both academics and character. Thanks for your consideration!
