My Project

With Earth Day coming up soon my students in first grade would love to have some new materials to help them learn about the earth and materials to use outside. I will use the books in my classroom to inform my students about the earth and the animals on our earth, the puzzles will help the students work on their solving skills, the balls will help them be able to have something to play with outside, and the stress balls will help with SEL in my classroom.

All of these materials relate to our earth and will help students learn more about our earth for Earth Day.

Having all these tools will help my classroom be more successful.

Grades PreK-2
