My Project

Please give our 2nd-grade students the supplies they need to measure up to our new unit! Measurement in elementary school is a very hands-on unit.

Getting these weights and measurement scales will allow our students the opportunity to get hands-on experiences as they learn about measuring with weight and shapes, particularly measurement.

Our students' data this year shows these are topics our grade level struggles with so we want to ensure that our students are about to learn about these important skills in ways that are both practical and hands-on.
