Hooray! This project is fully funded

My Students

My second grade class loves to read and learn about the world around them!

My students love to read more about what they are learning.

They are excited about everything that is presented to them.. They always try to go beyond what they have been taught. They go out into the world and see what they have learned applies to them. We are a family in this class, so it is such a joy to see them working together to help each other succeed!

My Project

My students love to read and learn more about what we are studying. I would like my students to partner up and share the excitement of reading together! This will help build fluency and comprehension in a fun way!

These science books will help them understand this beautiful world around them.

The books about the moon and our solar system will get my students to look up at our night sky and start to understand our universe! Will they be our next astronauts?

Reading about penguins in Antarctica! Do we have future biologists or geologists in this class!

These books will spark the imagination of my students!!
