40 Second Grade Classroom Transformations
I’ve created 40 second grade classroom transformations and they all align with the 2nd grade common core math standards. It was a huge undertaking, but now that it’s done, it’s incredibly easy to keep my kiddos engaged and we complete a room transformation once a week. I love to call them “Monday Fundays” to my students because they know it’s something fun to look forward to every Monday instead of coming back to the “Monday blues”.
