My Project

Please help me to continue the Inspiration of Learning for these hard-working, dedicated, & curious English language Learning 2nd Graders!

Here is a recent list of what will help me meet the current & diverse needs of my students.

Reinforcement- Kids Love simple Motivational reminders for desired behaviors. Specifically- Scratch N Sniff stickers or smelly markers/ pencils are favored right now.

Organization is key! Desk name tag/ Plate holders (personal space dividers), Library dividers/ labeled markers, Chair pockets, etc. Magnetic Shelves that Highlight our current learning intentions/ resources. These items will help us learn to manage materials & prioritize "What Matters Most".

Learning Tools/ Technology Devices: My 2nd graders need decent-sounding headphones at all times for purposeful listening/ assessment purposes. Even new Handwriting Journals to record their new learning.

NEW Children's Literature! I have included many SEL & Phonics books that I would love to add to my personal collection to utilize and share with other colleagues.
