My Project

This is my list for my first year of teaching. I will be teaching 4th grade in a highly diverse community. These materials will help me create the classroom these students can be successful in. I hope to create a classroom of love, acceptance and community.

The things on this list are going to help me prepare durable activity materials as well as help students be creative and productive in the classroom.

Students will use the bean bag chairs, markers, pencils, and paper in daily activities as well as special projects. I wanted to add snacks to my list so that students that may have food insecurity know they have that when they are in my classroom. I want to provide what I can to my students in my classroom and keep it fun, safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Thank you for reading about my classroom. I hope you can donate to support my first ever classroom!
