Mrs. McPherson's 4th Grade Project

Help me give my students new headphones to be able to do work on their computers efficiently and a new sharpener for the class to be able to have sharp, clean pencils daily.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McPherson's classroom raised $192

My Project

I am excited to start my third year of teaching in the fourth grade. Going into a new grade means adding a few things to my list that I might not be able to provide on my own.

Students use headphones almost daily.

Getting new headphones will help them do their schoolwork on their computers efficiently. Students do well on their computers when they have headphones and are able to concentrate more when the sound is canceled out.

Having a new sharpener in class will help me, as a teacher, make sure the students have a sharp, clean pencil daily. The timer will allow me to be able to use classroom management in a timely manner.
