Math Stackers is the perfect tool to reach them in a fun, engaging way that feels like play. At the same time, we can use them to challenge and extend learning for some of my more advanced students.

Students had a really great time being able to do their own research on planets that they were interested in. Having new texts that were varying in levels of reading skills allowed all of my students in engage in the learning in a meaningful and powerful way. After students read books and did their own research they then created their own books about their planet of choice. It was absolutely amazing to see how dedicated the students were to their books. \r\n\r\nWhen students are able to take ownership in their own learning, they become so much more invested and interested. This was 100% evident in our space unit this year! We then had a huge space-themed party where we invited other classes and educators to come and see and read our books. Students talked about the space party as one of their favorite memories of 2nd grade! With your help, we created a core memory for these students!

Our mission was a success. My students had a wonderful time learning about space and celebrating all that they accomplished in 2nd grade. Your generosity made this a truly special time. \r\nOne of our favorite things was exploring the talking solar system model and seeing the images projected on the ceiling. Students continued to refer to this model as they wrote and illustrated their own books about the planets. We enjoyed reading the new books, using watercolors to paint the planets, completing the giant solar system puzzle, and flying the space shuttle gliders outside. \r\nWe also received some new items for our calming corner. Students are able to use this area to self-regulate and take a break. The timer and marble mazes are a perfect addition.
