My Project

This year I will be teaching wonderful 4th grade students and the best part is that I had most of them when they were in 1st grade! I am excited to start a new year and I want to make sure my students have what they need to be successful.

Having items such as folders for each subject, the writing process folders and pencils will help keep them organized and lead to a more productive classroom.

The back to school read alouds will help establish expectations, classroom routines and rules. The calming strips and fidget toys will help students focus and remain on task.
