Success in Second Grade!

My Project

Our school has the most amazing students who are energetic and excited about learning! These materials will help our 2nd graders be successful in their learning. The privacy screens are a big need at our school because they help the students focus on their work and eliminate many distractions, especially during independent work times like reading, writing, and math.

Every student deserves to be successful at school!

These materials, including the whiteboard markers, will help them be just that. We use whiteboards a lot in 2nd grade, especially during math. The students are able to show their work and share it with their classmates to create a math community and be mathematicians!

We will use the composition notebooks every day during writing. These primary composition notebooks are especially important for 2nd grade because they have a space for drawing their ideas before they start to write. This helps their brains start flowing and makes it easier to get their ideas down in writing.

Thank you for considering supporting our school with this project!
