Keeping Up With the Class

Help me give my students books that they will love and are 'just right' for them and math manipulatives to have at home!

My Students

I just started my second year in second grade and I am 100% online with about 70 students! I am feeling lucky for this time to connect with SO many students and doing my best to keep them feeling loved by their teacher, engaged and happy through a screen!

What we are going through currently is HARD.

It is hard on the kids, the teachers and the parents! The constant push back from technology really adds to the "fun".

I am trying my hardest to deliver quality lessons and connect with my kiddos and upgrading some of my stuff would help a lot!

My Project

I need to broaden the level range of my classroom library because of the lost classroom time due to Covid-19. I want to get some books for readers who may need more time before diving into the 'typical' second grade books.

I want to get some base ten blocks into the hands of my some of my online learners during their home days.

I am teaching about 70 students right now and we simply do not have enough supplies for the in school and at home learning. As we learn place value and building number sense, I would love to be able to give them the tools to help them soar.
