2nd Grade Mathematicians

Help me give my students a comfortable and fun way to engage with math

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Leach's classroom raised $1,081

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Most students struggle to feel positively about themselves as mathematicians.

I want to help my students develop a positive association with math in a variety of ways.

The soft seats will be used during a learning station to create comfort while learning since math can be anxiety-inducing for some.

The books I've chosen highlight development and perseverance which we'll use to write and draw ideas about what we hope for ourselves and our growth this year. I'd also like to encourage my students to engage with math in different ways. By using the manipulatives in small groups we'll get "hands-on" with our understanding and see how many can be tactile and fun!
