My Project

This upcoming school year, my school district will be starting a new Reading curriculum called Imagine Learning. This new curriculum is split up into four Units: Communities, Fossils, Plants and Pollination, and Pollinators and Animals. In this curriculum, they have lessons which will require supplies for hands-on learning opportunities. In this project, I am asking for the supplies that I will need to be prepared for these activities throughout the school year.

This school year, 2nd Grade will be learning about communities, fossils, plants and pollination, and pollinators and animals.

In this project, I am asking for supplies such as popsickle sticks, play dough, watercolor paint sets, straws, fossil kits and more. These supplies will be used for activities such as exploring fossils, rocks, and learning about dinosaurs, drawing and making plants, and many more projects. This project will ensure that I have the supplies needed for these projects and extras if needed. Hands-on learning will also help me to teach my English Language learners and my special needs students by teaching while using our senses.

I am very excited to start this new journey with this program and want to make sure I am as successful as possible in teaching it correctly.
