Success in Second

Help me give my students resources to use in second grade. We desperately need math manipulatives to help us understand the essentials. The other items are necessary to also grasp standards in reading, social studies and science.

My Project

The items requested will be used in class in whole and small groups with students. I would love to be able to use the base ten blocks math manipulatives to enhance instruction for all my students and a few of the items specifically for small groups - helping some of students that need extra support. Many of my ESE students have different learning styles, the manipulatives provide support for my kinesthetic learners, while also providing visuals and auditory instructions as well.

I have recognized the need for more supports in math this past year and would love to strengthen my math instruction.

These products will help me do just that and ensure all my students meet the standards by the end of the year.
