My Project

The items I am requesting will play a crucial role in creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment not only in my own classroom, but across the 4th grade team at our school. By transforming our classrooms into an interactive and visually stimulating space, we aim to foster curiosity, creativity, and collaboration among students. Our classroom transformations help students review math topics such as area & perimeter, practice fractions by creating play-dough, practice "FBI investigative" close reading strategies, explore new genres in our classroom library through a book "tasting" day, and so much more! These items help create a space where students feel inspired to explore and grow.

My primary goal for this project is to enhance student engagement and ownership of their learning experience.

By designing a space that is both functional and inviting, I want to encourage active participation and a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom. These transformations will also support a variety of teaching strategies, from collaborative group work to individual study, ensuring that all students can thrive regardless of their learning style. Ultimately, I hope this project will support our classroom cultures that emphasize creativity, teamwork, and a joy for discovery.

What makes our students truly special is their resilience and curiosity. They come to school each day ready to tackle challenges, ask questions, and support one another. I have seen my class go from 24 individual students to a team in just 3 months, and it has made my teacher heart so proud! These supplies will help them continue to practice the real life skills of collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking across all subjects. Thank you for considering donating to support not only my classroom, but the 4th grade team as well!
