My Project

My 2nd graders have never completed a full year of school-- this is their first time being in a classroom full-time. As a brand new teacher, I've tried to help them have an interactive experience where they love learning. However, I am still in need of books, flexible seating, and organization to create productive learning spaces for my students. For example, the globe will help my students see the locations we are studying in history in relation to where Arizona is. The human body replica will help us in our study of body systems for our science unit.

My hope is that the books I've chosen, the globe, and the human body will all create opportunities to *spark* hands-on learning for my scholars!

These classroom tools, books, and organization will be able to help promote discovery skills for my students.
