My Project

My 2nd grade students are an amazing group that work so hard to grow every day! They have developed such a love of books and reading at school this year.

My students love to engage in amazing learning together!

Having school virtual ALL last school year has been a struggle for many of my students.

Being in person this year has been such a blessing! These 7 and 8 year old's have played their part EVERY day with social distancing, getting their temperatures checked, wearing masks ALL day, and keeping everyone safe!

The materials from this projects will help me make a meaningful connection between school and home with the love they have for reading. I want to send them off for summer break with books in their hands and some sensory tools to use and learn with over the summer.

Help me celebrate the success of my inner city 2nd grade class in a FUN way!
