Bringing Fun and Engagement Into Our 2nd Grade Class!

Help me give my students access to fun and engaging activities! This project includes some of their favorite books, wobble chairs, class incentives, snacks, and materials for life science! I'm so excited to share these exciting materials with my class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Tanabe's classroom raised $749

My Project

This project would help to increase student engagement in our second grade classroom! The project would help to bring more excitement as we learn more in life science and plants. My students are also learning to love reading, so I've included some of their favorite book series. As a teacher trying to promote a love for reading, it's always helpful to have new and relevant books that students can enjoy. The wobble chairs would help students to promote focus by allowing for the movement that many children need in a classroom. I'm so excited to share these materials with my students to help them grow academically this school year.
