My Project

Do you ever wonder how students can have the best year ever? All it takes are powerful resources! Making sure students have what they need to be successful always go back to the tools and resources the classroom has to support them. This year I want to make sure my scholars come to school and have everything they need.

Knowing which resources have the most impact on students, determines what the classroom requires.

Knowledge of my 2nd graders tells me that when they're hydrated, they do their best learning, so water bottles are a must! I also want their brains calm and flowing which means manipulatives such as magnetic building blocks are amazing for their breaks.

One goal I have for this year is to have some all-star readers, so I know some reading resources are a necessity! Being able to use interactive phonics tools will help create some strong and resourceful readers this year! Every object and tool in my classroom has a job to do to help my 2nd graders work hard and be successful all year long.
