My Project

My 2nd-grade classroom is in need of some new books for our classroom shelves and units.

We are in need of books to support our Reading and Science Units.

We need books for our Fairytale Unit for Reading/ELA. We are also in need of some books for different science units, such as weather, matter, and life cycles. The books will be used to compare/contrast fairy tales for Reading. The science books will be used to support our science units.

These books will be used by my 2nd-grade students to meet grade-level standards for Reading and Science. Students can explore 2nd-grade topics through these read-aloud books.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
