My Project

My 24 second graders are my inspiration. They are funny, creative, caring and so much more! The materials in this grant will be used during our soft start at school. A Soft Start is a simple 20 minute period where students can roll into school without having to worry about the bell.

My students also LOVE to create with paper, so I'd love to inspire them with these amazing activity books!

Please help my students to ease into their school day with these amazing books. We will use these with our Wonder Tubs, Yoga Station, and Mobile Maker Cart. With over 100 activities to kick-start creativity, why not give students the power to create?
