My Students

I am a fourth grade teacher in a French immersion classroom. We have wonderful students in our class and I am hoping to provide them with the best opportunity possible. We are an IB school and work to give our students the best opportunities to explore the world around them!

We promote ownership of their learning and individual problem solving.

This project will provide the fourth grade with the ability to practice their work and take ownership of their learning in a fun and interactive way!

My Project

I am so excited for the opportunity to give my students the best classroom library possible. Right now, we don't even have enough shelves for all the books so having the shelves for this project would be amazing!

Giving my students a chance to read and explore the library to enrich their learning experience would be a dream come true!

This project will help support my students interacting with a wider range of book and give them a great place to actually go and read. It would provide shelving, seats and organizational tools that will help support them in all aspects of their learning.
