My Project

I teach a dynamic group of 2nd graders! They are a joy to be with every day.

My students walk into the classroom with smiles on their faces, ready to learn.

We have a very diverse student population in our classroom.

I am excited to undertake this project with my students this year!

I am asking for books bins so that my students have a place to easily access the books they are reading. I am asking for blank books so that we can create poetry books through out the year. I am asking for Shrinky Dinks so that we can create unique designs and create a class store where they will be sold. This will help my students learn financial literacy as they save their classroom money to purchase the designs they like best.

I am excited to do this project with my students.
