The Dream Big Project for Second Graders

Funded Jun 10, 2024

The impact of the my funded project has been amazing with helping these new second graders become more organized and independent. We are taking it slow but some of the students have caught on to the purposes of the items that were donated. The students that have caught on to the idea that everything has its place and purpose are starting to show the others what to do.

This is leading to building leaders inside the classroom for the ones who are now leading by example and showing their classmates what the expectation is. This is also teaching the students to keep their areas clean for a more positive learning environment. They are helping each other keep the room clean each day.

The only real technology in the project is a color printer. The printer has done wonders with certain activities especially in math. Where they can see visuals in color on the page to help them use the strategies correctly. Now they can see worksheets in color like the counter manipulatives they use in whole group activities. This is helping solidify instruction.”
