Reading Rocks and Super 2nd Grade Supplies!

My students need pencil boxes for supplies at home to complete their homework and projects. They also need comfortable seating to help encourage reading. Educational recess games would also benefit my students. Thank you!

My Students

My students are from the city school. They are hard working, loving students. They love coming to school and want to learn. I want to help them with their supplies for home and in the classroom to help facilitate their learning.

They love to give hugs and smiles!

I want to encourage and enhance their love for reading and have a safe place where they can learn and grow! I want my students to have the supplies to foster their learning both in my classroom and at home.

My Project

My 2nd Grade would benefit with flexible seating for making reading more enjoyable. I would use these seats for silent reading and also for team building. They would be able to use these during partner reading.

This would be a relaxed place to read.

Educational recess games to encourage learning while playing. Flash card and games to encourage cooperative learning and character development.

Pencil boxes with supplies will be used for their homes to be able to complete homework and projects more easier. I want to encourage creativity in the classroom and at home with having supplies available to them.
