My Project

My students are 21st-century learners who are eager to use all of the technology available to them. I teach 25 curious fourth-grade scientists in a small Title I school that has an amazing and supportive principal.

My students are eager to learn and their brains are sponges that absorb any and all information given to them.

We will start this school year back in the classroom after being remote off and on for the last two years! I want to make sure my students have the essential materials and resources to start the year off right! We will use the spiral notebooks to create interactive science and math notebooks and the folders to hold finished work and important papers. The blank books will eventually become student-authored stories about our state and the missions. Having this project funded at the beginning of the school year gives my students the materials hey need without families having to worry about gc purchasing them themselves.
