Second Grade Success!

Help me give my students supplies they need to have a successful year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. LoConte's classroom raised $361

This project is fully funded

My Project

Many of my students do not have supplies of their own to be successful each day in my classroom. I want each one of my second graders to be able to complete their work and grow as learners. I want each one of my students to be to focus on learning each day when they enter my class. These supplies (scissors, whiteboards, crayons, etc.) will help ensure that they all keep learning.

I want each one of my students to be to focus on learning each day when they enter my class.

All of these supplies will ensure that my students are ready for our daily classroom lessons and to get to work right away each day!
