My Students

Our students are some of the best students a teacher can ask for. Throughout the year we go through the highs and lows of fifth grade math and we do it all together. You will not find a more empathic, caring, and brave group of kiddos. My students work hard and are excited to learn new concepts and skills.

My Project

I am requesting five balance ball seats for my fifth grade students. Flexible seating has been proven to increase student engagement. We will have a lot of ground to cover and gaps to fill this year.

Help us balance the fifth grade math curriculum with balance balls for student use.

These balls will be used at the small group teacher table and will provide an incentive for students to work towards mastery. Our fifth graders appreciate all that our donors do and we can't wait to show you what we can do in the 2021-2022 school board. Thank you in advance for your support!
