My Project

This project was started because I will be new to the land of 2nd grade! I have taught intermediate grade levels, so I have a lot of higher reading materials and games, therefore, I need help getting materials for primary kids!

Success in reading in 2nd grade is crucial to a student being successful for the rest of their school career!

That's why I am asking for donations to help fund games for reading groups when they aren't working with an adult, math manipulatives to keep lessons engaging, as wells as games to encourage collaboration and imagination (especially during rainy days!) and book sets that will inspire students to want to learn more!
