My Project

My second graders love to be creative. They inspire me each and everyday to make their learning fun and exciting. Sometimes I find the littlest things can make a big difference in how our day goes.

We need a good sturdy pencil sharpener to help us sharpen our pencils each day!

Group work is a big component in my classroom. The kids love to work in small groups and create charts and pictures to show what they have learned. Colored pencils and pencils are some items the children use to show their creativity! A pencil sharpener is needed in my classroom. A lot of my children come school each day without the proper tools needed for learning. Being able to provide them with pencils and a sharpener will make life a little easier!

I would love for my kids to have everything they deserve. By contributing to this project, we can do just that!
