The supply caddies will help us stay organized and make transitions smoother, while the laminating sheets will allow me to create durable resources that students can use again and again. And of course, the fluorescent tape will make our Glow Day review an unforgettable learning experience—one my students will look forward to all year.\r\n\r\nThese resources will add both joy and structure to our classroom.

In a room with 25 eight year-olds, organization is important! We have math tools, writing supplies, books, craft materials, curriculum, and much more. This project helped make materials easier to access for the students and for myself.\r\n The cute storage cart was put use holding the items students need handy wherever they're working: math cubes, base 10 blocks, scissors, and glue sticks. I love that I can roll it right over to wherever it's needed in the classroom. We often have several small group and centers going on in different areas of the room. The storage clip boxes made it possible to me to keep each month's math centers organized and contained, with no pieces lost at the bottom of a file cabinet. This makes planning and teacher so much simpler!\r\n My classroom runs a little better with these tools.

While they had fun selecting animals and arranging their zoo maps, they practiced second grade skills like measuring, adding and subtracting money, and estimating. I was also able to refresh our math centers and small groups with new math partner games and hands-on activities just at their level!
