My Project

This upcoming school year I am making a big jump from first grade to fourth grade. I have taken the time to carefully consider what supplies and items are needed to make me a successful fourth grade teacher. With a jump as big as this, I can only hope that I can provide these students with as much success as I did as a first grade teacher.

I plan to give my students a fun, safe, and comfortable learning environment that will allow them to be their best selves.

I want to ensure a successful start with these items that I am asking for. Some of the items include new supply boxes, new binders and dividers, fun-colored pencils, and classroom prizes. I am sure that these things will help me create the classroom that I am looking to create.

Grades 3-5
