My Project

I will be starting my first year teaching 2nd grade. I understand that it costs money in order to have a comfortable learning environment for students. I am trying to cover all of the basics that I know students will need in my class. By having a pencil sharpener, fidgets, markers and other resources for math and phonics to help them throughout the year. Also, giving them tools in order to support their social emotional learning and teaching them coping mechanisms. These will all give them a memorable and effective year in second grade.
