FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Branson's classroom raised $625

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project will support our 4th graders in learning together. We will talk about our thinking as we play games to apply our skills and knowledge!

Learning science, reading, and emotional regulation in a collaborative way that helps to build our classroom community is the goal!

The engineering tools will allow students to collaboratively build and model roller coasters to apply science concepts.

Reading and writing games help us practice talking about our learning while also building our classroom community and strengthening skills.

Tools for emotional regulation will help us do our best and treat each other well.

4th Grade is an important time for all students to establish the skills to talk about feelings and learning. Our school has a large, diverse English Learner population, and we work hard to talk about our learning.
