My Project

These supplies include a variety of ways that we can learn and make a difference. We will use these items at various times throughout the remainder of the year.

These items will allow us to share with others what we are learning and how we can be leaders and show kindness to others!

The craft supplies will be used to make canvas and ornaments for others around the holidays. We create a unique piece of art on canvas each year for Valentine's Day to include all of our classmates. The button maker will be used to create campaign buttons in science as we wrap up our National Park Challenges.

The STEM building toys, snap circuits, batteries, and copper tape we will use in Science when we are learning about circuits and for indoor recess creativity during the winter months and rainy days.

My 4th graders will be working toward a May gift for their families.

The Hydroponics Growing System will help us review what we know about plants and help us start our own plants from seed.

The two books are for professional learning. The totes are for keeping all of these new and old supplies organized. I can't wait to use these resources with our 100 4th graders.
