My Project

I teach a dynamic group of second graders! They are a joy to be with every day. My students walk into the classroom with smiles on their faces, ready to learn.

I am requesting a variety of STEAM activities for my students.

I have many students in my class who celebrate the Lunar New Year, and I think it would be fun for everyone who celebrates to talk about their family traditions in addition to participating in Lunar New Year STEAM activities.

For their Lunar New Year activity, they will create their snakes using a variety of googly eyes. I can't wait to see how creative they are. I am also asking for 2 storage shelves to hold our art supplies and to make these materials easily accessible to my students.

Everyone loves bubbles, and they bring a smile to everyone's face. We will use the bubble machine when we go outside for free play.
