FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lofgren's classroom raised $996

My Students

My 4th graders love to explore and learn using the hands-on tools that we have in our classroom. They become animated when they get to use the available tools and dive into their learning. The resources from this project will reward them with fun prizes for completing lockbox activities in the core areas of reading, math, and science. It will also provide a much needed update to our classroom library. In addition, they will use the materials to make keepsakes of their 4th-grade year.

I love watching them be in the driver's seat of their educational journey, watching them learn and grow as they dive into the task at hand.

They are truly engaged and inspired as they take control of their learning! This age group is an amazing group of children, ready to lead our classroom into the 21st century with technology and knowledge.

My Project

Students have been hit hard by the isolation that COVID-19 has caused inside our classroom walls. I want to create rich, interactive lessons for my students that will allow them to work with their peers to master grade level content and standards. Students will be able to solve content puzzles in order to unlock the lockboxes for math, science, and reading. These activities include math problems, reading comprehension activities, and science STEM activities to move on to the next clue. These activities will help gather formative data about students' mastery of concepts.

This project will provide our classroom library with a much needed face-lift following the pandemic that showcases heroes from the past and present.

Students will be able to dive into informational texts to learn about the ordinary people who helped change our world. They will create infographics and reports using the materials in this project.
