My Students

I have an amazing group of 4th and 5th grade students in my classroom. I love to have a lively and hardworking group of kiddos and that is exactly what I got this year! My kiddos love reading and I'm hoping to be able to supply them with as many possibilities to grow their love of literature.

Being in a new grade level this year, I am looking forward to getting supplies and materials that will help my students soar in their learning and enjoyment of school.

My students are talented, creative, hardworking and adventurous and I can't wait to being my DonorsChoose journey!

My Project

This year, more than ever, it is important for our students to have their own supplies. Due to COVID, students need to keep their materials together in one area. I am requesting a set of book bins so that each student can have a safe place to keep their belongings. Having this space will not only help the students be organized, but it will help reduce the need to share supplies in class. I am also asking for a box of Legos that can be put into individual STEAM kits. These kits allow my students to explore their creativity.
