My Students

This year, I have a class full of energetic and eager 2nd graders! They deserve the best possible learning environment to help them grow and succeed as I know they can achieve so much!

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." -Nelson Mandela

When in my classroom, we are all scientists, teammates, authors, mathematicians, artists, dreamers, and world-changers. My students work every day to better ourselves to better the world we live in.

My Project

These supplies will prepare my second graders for a successful school year and they will continue to support them throughout the year. It is important to have enough supplies, such as chart paper and dry erase markers, throughout the year to ensure there is no disruption to the continuous learning done in my classroom.

Basic supplies such as pencils, clipboards, dry erase markers, and erasers ensure that they are prepared to learn in whatever way is best for them - whether that is with pencil and paper, in a comfortable spot with a clipboard, or interactively with a dry erase board.
