My Project

I am a fourth year fourth grade teacher. As I am growing as a teacher I want to make sure I am meeting my student's social emotional needs.

These items like SPOT books and white boards will help upgrade my classroom.

They will get new books to read, new posters to help motivate them and supplies that will help them succeed.

I am big into social emotional learning. I will drop everything to address student's feelings and needs to make them feel loved. These items in the donation will help address a wide range of feelings that my students may have.

Thank you!

Ms. Belden
Grades 3-5
