Ready to Reference! Reference Materials for Second Graders

Funded Jan 6, 2012

I cannot thank you enough for all the valuable reference materials you acquired for our class. The maps helped the students get a better sense of our world, specifically the continents and the oceans and helped keep them interested and engaged. Their culminating task involved putting together a map of their own. Needless to say, they were extremely successful and were especially proud to name each region of the world. Additionally, the students worked as a team to make a giant map of the world, which charted where their ancestors lived. The students also learned about immigration and how our country continues to be shaped by it today.

Furthermore, the thesauruses and dictionaries helped give our second graders weekly practice with words, parts of speech, alphabetical order exercises and vocabulary extensions. I am especially proud of how comfortable they became with these reference materials.”
