My Project

Fourth grade is such an incredible year of growth for students.

I teach a wonderful group of fourth graders who are curious about the world around them.

They collaborate on projects, enjoy STEAM challenges, and love to discover the why behind questions posed in class.

I have many students in my class who celebrate Lunar New Year and I would like to get the Lunar New Year Mad Libs. Mad Libs are always fun to do, and I thought my students would enjoy the twist on them. Mad Libs are a great way for students to practice parts of speech while sharing laughter together also.

I am also asking for soccer balls with a ball bag that we can use when we go out to PE. This is such a fun game and students love to play it!

I am excited to share these resources with my students and appreciate your kindness!
