My Project

My students are in second grade and are wonderful storytellers. Second graders have great imaginations that they are eager to use. This year, we are working on building our writing skills through a daily writing practice. This practice will build my students' confidence and enthusiasm for writing, while also giving them an opportunity to express themselves through creative work. We are requesting daily journals to facilitate this.

We are also working on building our executive functioning skills, and helping second graders learn how to keep organized.

We are requesting folders to help us keep our materials organized and easily accessible.
