My Project

Last year was interesting, to say the least. It was our first year fully back in the building after a year of hybrid learning. It was difficult to get back into the swing of things due to all new COVID protocols and having to re-adjust our bodies to a full day in the building. Even still, my 4th graders pushed through and accomplished what seemed impossible, overcoming every obstacle thrown at them, and I am beyond proud of them.

I get the pleasure of spending another school year with these superb scientists as I loop up with them from 4th to 5th grade!

I'm looking forward to another year of teaching and learning with this awesome group of kids. I can't wait to strengthen our relationships and see how they apply the knowledge they learned in 4th grade to brand new 5th grade standards. Dealing with a lack of essential supplies is an unnecessary hassle, and I want to make sure that we can spend all of our time focused on learning, and not on having to constantly replenish supplies.

As this new school approaches, I hope you feel compelled to donate to my project! These are the supplies that we use most often and are quickest to be consumed in my science classroom. Having these ready to go before the first day of school would surely lift a burden off my shoulders, as well as the shoulders of families who may be struggling to purchase supplies on their own. Thank you in advance!
