My Project

I want these supplies for the fifth-grade class of 2024/2025 to create the most incredible projects for the first annual Fifth Grade Showcase! I hope these supplies will help students show parents, families, other students, classrooms, and others what they have learned creatively and artistically! They will get to sculpt with clay, paint their sculpture, and create a trifold showcasing writing and photos to show what they have learned.

Having these supplies for the fifth-grade class will help ensure that they can be as creative as they want when they show off what they have learned in their final year in elementary school!

The project itself is still top-secret (until the students hear about it!), but know that it will involve what they learn in literacy, writing, science, and history and combine them all into a creative exploration! I am so excited about this project and what students can do with it, and I know that they will enjoy showing their learning to loved ones. Having the supplies for every classroom ahead of time will help us teachers get students excited, know that everyone has what they need, and provide the students with equity across all three classrooms.
