My Project

I am absolutely thrilled to be moving up with my amazing first graders to second grade! After 26 years teaching Kindergarten, I just moved to first with my class and NOW second grade. We are truly a class family of 22. I am so excited for this amazing opportunity to teach 2nd grade with my class family.

I hope that I will be able to supply math and reading materials to begin the 2025-2026 school year.

I teach at a Title I school that provides free lunch and breakfast to all students. We have a boxed meals and snacks that they take home on Fridays. Therefore, providing school supplies is very difficult financially for our families.

I will need a lot of reading and math materials for active learning. These second graders will be trilled to use the Lakeshore Match & Sort Reading Comprehension,Teacher Created Resources Time Flash Cards, and FOAM QUESTION CUBES.
