My Project

Our 2nd Grade ICT classroom is in need of some basic classroom materials to help us get through the rest of the school year and more! My students love playing games and activities in centers, and working with their peers! These materials will help us in so many ways.

By donating to our project, you will help my students learn with hands-on activities and have organized materials!

The products I selected will help our classroom in various ways. The literacy and math games, rulers, and dice will help my students build their basic phonics and math skills in centers. The iPad chargers will allow my students to charge their iPads so they are ready to be used in centers. The markers, laminating sheets, laminator, and organizing materials will help me to prep materials throughout the day for my students. Lastly, the Teachers Pay Teachers Gift Card will allow me to find activities suited to my student's levels. Please help give us basic learning supplies and materials to help us reach our learning potential!
