My Project

Boosting 2nd graders’ confidence, skills, and smiles-one positive tool at a time!

My students are bright, curious, and eager to learn, but they need the right tools to help them succeed.

In our 2nd grade classroom, we are working hard to build confident learners who believe in themselves and feel proud of their progress.

With positive self-talk books, a mirror, and affirmation pennants, students will practice encouraging words that boost self-esteem and resilience. LCD writing tablets will make math practice engaging and efficient, allowing students to quickly solve problems and receive immediate feedback. Essential supplies-like disinfectant wipes, labels, file folders, a sturdy pencil sharpener, magnetic hooks for chart paper, and Mr. Sketch markers for writing lessons-will keep our classroom running smoothly and organized. A treasure-filled prize box stocked with snacks and fidgets will celebrate positive choices and encourage students to keep doing their best.

These resources will make learning more engaging, organized, and motivating. Positive self-talk materials will help students approach challenges with confidence. LCD tablets will encourage active problem-solving and quick thinking in math. Having essential supplies ready means less downtime and more time for meaningful learning. The prize box will reinforce positive behavior, creating a classroom culture where students feel supported, valued, and excited to learn.

With your help, my students will have the tools they need to grow academically, socially, and emotionally every single day.
