My Project

I teach a dynamic group of second graders! They are a joy to be with every day. My students walk into the classroom with smiles on their faces, ready to learn.

I am requesting a variety of STEAM activities for my students.

I have many students in my class who celebrate the Lunar New Year, and I think it would be fun for everyone who celebrates to talk about their family traditions in addition to participating in Lunar New Year STEAM activities.

For their Lunar New Year activity, they will create their snakes using shrinky dinks, perler beads, pipe cleaners, or they can even make a themed bracelet.

I am also asking for sublimation mugs to make mugs for Mother's Day later this year.
