My Students

My 4th grade students are funny, hard-working, and resilient! They have overcome many challenges this year while adapting to full-time online learning. They show up strong and ready to learn each morning. They continue to impress themselves with their accomplishments!

My Project

Having real computer mice instead of small touch pads will make a world of difference for our young learners! We have been struggling to use touch pads for our full-time online class, and having a real computer mouse will allow my students to access and learn how to use more online tools with MUCH MORE efficiency! I'm also asking for gift cards to TeachersPayTeachers.com so I can purchase colorful, engaging lesson materials for my students. For 4th graders, using just plain black and white PDFs is boring! TeachersPayTeachers has age-appropriate materials created by real teachers for real students. The materials I can purchase on TeachersPayTeachers are all designed for young learners to strengthen their math and literacy skills in a digital environment. Once we go back to in-person learning next year, I will STILL be able to utilize these digital materials, so they're not just a one-time purchase, they will serve students for years to come.
