My Project

I have an amazing group of 2nd grades willing and determined to give their all. They all have different academic learning abilities, and show up ready for new levels of learning each day. My students are learning to read and write and to the the purpose of an author's story.

Being at a Title Ischool many things are limited or often lacking supplies our many class room needs.

The books for our class library and seating would give my students their own in class relaxing book nook to captivate their minds and continue the flow from teacher to student learning. The games will also strengthen their thinking skills at indoor recess, during these cold winter months.
