My Students

I want my students to be prepared, both educationally and personally, for next year as they enter intermediate school. Learning to have personal responsibility is an important skill that will make that transition successful.

My students are awesome.

I have such a diverse group, but the majority of them are super competitive. In my school all of third and fourth grade have departmentalized, which is a change, but students love it! My school is like a second home; very safe feeling, comfortable, and loving.

My Project

The class set of book bins which I'm requesting will help my students with their own organization. We have departmentalized in fourth grade and are asking much more of the students than in years past. I feel that having all their materials in one place, as they no longer have independent desks, will help with organization and responsibility.

These book bins will help my students gain confidence as they become more responsible, organized, and prepared for the next step - intermediate school.
