Gearing Up For Fourth Grade!

Help me give my students engaging mentor texts and other classroom supplies to support our 4th grade lessons!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Schweitzer's classroom raised $314

This project is fully funded

My Project

Changing grade levels (First to Fourth) means changing curriculum, needing to build a new repertoire of lessons, and requiring the essential supplies to make it all happen. My students will be learning about different places all over the world and we would like to have diverse books to add more depth to our lessons. We would also like to add cursive alphabet visuals and magnetic math tools for fractions and place value.

Your donations will enhance my fourth grade curriculum by providing books and supplies to create and support engaging and meaningful lessons and experiences.

Having these items will enhance fourth grade language arts and math lessons immensely.
