Strong Start to Second Grade!

Help me give my students tools to succeed in their learning this school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Blumberg's classroom raised $818

My Project

My second grade students are eager to learn and ready to launch into a year of learning. I am so excited to continue my journey in 2nd grade, and to learn and grow with my students for another year.

In order to foster a culture of positivity and support social-emotional learning, I have created a list of materials to set us up for success.

My students are constantly looking at the world around them eager to learn and grow! With the markers, pencils, and math manipulatives in this project, I will be set to start our year off with all necessary materials to learn. I am excited to implement flexible seating in my classroom with new stools, as well as fidget toys and new materials for SEL learning. We will be ready to conquer the year together, learning and growing through shared experiences.
