Second Grade Math Resources, Brain Puzzles, and Snacks!

Help me give my students math resources, brain puzzles, and healthy school snacks!

My Project

My second graders are busy with working on complex math word problems. We will be moving into two step math word problems. They are doing amazing! What I have noticed is I am lacking an organizational cabinet for my second graders to choose where to grab math tools when problem-solving for math. I believe this storage cabinet will help students continue to be independent with choosing their math tool. It will promote more accessibility for my students to grab their math tools!

My students eat an early lunch.

I would like to give my students snacks to help when the day gets long. I listed some of their favorite snacks. They do such a great job at using their manners at snack time and cleaning up after themselves.

The second graders love my brain puzzles. However, I do not have enough variety to give them. They do a great job at sharing the brain puzzles. I would like to promote more complex brain puzzles for them to have a good challenge of their choice.
