My Project

As March approaches, the amount of classroom supplies and materials are getting smaller. As a teacher who sees 70 4th-grade students daily, I try my best to keep my shelves stocked with supplies students and I need. I also like to update my shelves with new and engaging games and materials. There is only so much I can request from parents and the school; this is where you step in!

I am so eager to make sure that I keep surprising my students with fun supplies and materials.

These materials will help my students make posters to show their knowledge of literacy concepts and will help preserve their work with lamination sleeves. We will be able to write on and erase our whiteboards during lessons and students can receive a sticker for a job well done. I would appreciate having the necessary supplies and storage to supplement my instruction and the tools and incentives for my students to be successful in their learning.

These materials will also help my students prepare for standardized testing and for their future in 5th grade.
