My Project

I have the most amazing 2nd grade students! They have been through so much over the last few years, and I want to do something amazing for them that will make learning fun and bring our classroom to life!

A dinosaur themed classroom transformation will make learning fun, exciting, and engaging for my sweet students!

We will be learning all about dinosaurs through reading, writing, and researching all things about dinosaurs!

Learning must be fun and engaging. This year I hope to do everything I can to make this a reality for each child in my class!
