My Project

Our classroom is in desperate need of supplies. As the schoolyear progresses, our 5th grade class which encompasses fifty students has exhausted our supplies. The supplies include pencils, lined paper, colored copy paper, markers & organizers. These supplies will make a difference in my students learning because I will be able to make copies of their various projects on the colored paper.

The projects which include Exotic Animals , Road Trip Analysis pro, Cereal box Book reports etc & My Fifth Grade Year in Review projects.

As the school year comes to a close, my classroom is more project -centered. Students are encouraged to use their creativity and display their individuality in their classwork. With these supplies, my students can flourish and display what they learned throughout the school year. These supplies will contribute to my students success and progression.
