Fourth Grade 4tress of Superheroes

Help me give my students an opportunity to achieve their superhero learning potential.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Balanta's classroom raised $589

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Inspiring enthusiasm for learning has been a keystone in my teaching philosophy. The super hero themed bulletin board decorations help motivate students into believing they can overcome strong challenges.

The easel pad sheets are perfect for students' group presentations where they collaborate to present information from a Social Studies topic.

The stackable storage cabinet helps foster a sense of self-organization and independence.

The fun size better than paper bulletin board roll in different colors is perfect for displaying and celebrating student work. Superhero hallway passes complete the class theme.
