Wish Delivered: Classroom books

Teacher Jennifer Sharer says "These resources are critical for enhancing our students' learning and engagement, especially as many come from challenging backgrounds and have limited access to educational materials at home. According to our math curriculum, we need rulers but they are not supplied for me. We need dice and dominoes for math games. Second graders learn advanced phonics skills so I've included a few books that highlight those phonics skills. Since I am coming from another district, I am adapting to my new school's policy about providing a "soft start" in the morning. The kids come into the classroom when they arrive at school and I am supposed to provide quiet learning activities for them until the bell rings. I have asked for different games or science toys that will help them focus their play time in an educational way, therefore preparing their brains for the day ahead."
