My Project

1. Snacks- My second graders have an early lunch. At the end of the day, I have several students telling me they are hungry. I am hoping to supply my classroom with healthy snacks so they continue to work hard and be their best!

2.

Fidgets- A few of my second graders are needing small Fidgets in my classroom. We treat Fidgets as tools, not toys. I have witnessed how fidgets help my wiggly students stay in engaged in a lesson or when they are busy working at their desk. It helps prevent my students from wandering around the room, getting restless, or disengaging from the task.

3. Craft- I am looking for a hands on, special craft for Mother's Day. My students are very thoughtful. I would like to provide them the opportunity to create a craft for a special person in their life. The kit I am wanting is the picture frame. The students will add their special details to it. Details like paint and beads. The final touch will be a photo of the student to give to their special person.
