Fourth Grade Classroom Experience

Help me give my students the best fourth-grade learning experience with items that will ensure they learn in a colorful, clean, and organized environment

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rutledge's classroom raised $331

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am working on decorating my classroom for fifty-two extravagant students. My goal is to make the environment welcoming for the students by bringing in colorful items and decor. My classroom will be designed to get students excited about coming and learning something new. I want to focus on building vocabulary with a word wall. This wall will be accessible for students to add words to at any time.

Fourth-grade is a vital grade.

I feel this way because this is when students start to develop their independence and style. I want my classroom to be a symbol of expression. I want students to feel welcomed, wanted, and safe.
