Fourth Grade Gears Up for the Second Half

Help me give my students an amazing finish to the school year with organizational items that will improve instruction and performance!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. LaLonge's classroom raised $175

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are wonderful, curious, friendly, and inquisitive fourth graders! They are energetic and eager to learn about the world around them. At the age of nine and ten years old, they are embarking on a year of growth and learning that will be both exciting and challenging at times.

They are also predominantly at-risk children, with inadequate access to educational resources and support, in many cases.

Ultimately, they want to learn and have the opportunity to achieve their dreams and reach their full academic potential!

My Project

My students have come such a long way since last August, but there is still so much to learn before school lets out for the summer! One of the issues these supplies will help resolve is “The Great Pencil Problem (something all elementary teachers know all too well!). The hanging organizational chart will store cell phones, calculators, and most importantly--pencils that are not in use but need to be kept in a safe place until needed!

With as many as 30 or more students in the classroom at a given time, a little organization goes a very long way.

These supplies help keep our classroom running smoothly so we can focus on the right things--like learning and fun!
