My Project

My awesome fourth graders need their own individual book bins to keep their books and other school supplies in in order to have a clean and orderly classroom for learning.

We would love to have a Time for Kids subscription for whole group learning where we would all read the magazine together.

This group of fourth graders really love to read about current events and having a subscription to time for kids would allow them to do that.

In my classroom, I have a calm down corner where students can go and take a break. These sensory bottles would be a great addition to the area. It would allow my students something to fidget with and also help them to identify emotions that they may be feeling at the moment.
