My Project

Fourth grade is an important time in a student's life, and my students deserve the best that I can give them as a teacher. I want to make them excited to come to school every day. The beginning of the school year sets the tone for the rest, and I want to set my students up for success.

I want to stock our library with books that will make them excited about reading.

I want to give them more flexible seating options around the classroom. Sometimes kids learn better when they're not always at a desk, which is why we need stools and floor seats. I also want to give them sensory items to help them with the fidgets and anxieties that come with school. I want them to succeed.
