My Project

My 2nd graders love sitting and reading books in our little reading nook. We need some floor cushions to help make our area more comfortable and fun. They will love sitting in the little scoop chairs too. Providing different seating options helps with behavior issues and provides alternatives for kids who may need to move more.

Back to school supplies are a necessity.

These pastel pencils will be a fun welcoming school supply for my new 2nd graders. We use our whiteboards a lot during the day for phonics, math, writing, and so much more. Expo dry erase markers are always something we need to stay stocked up on. All of these items will help make the start of our next school year so productive and exciting.
