With so many subjects and skills to teach, it can sometimes be a struggle to squeeze in high-quality science and social studies instruction. We get it! That’s why we created the Monthly and Seasonal Projects All Year Bundle. Teachers love this bundle as a way to supplement their science and social studies curriculum. These projects for 2nd graders will support gains in reading, writing, and research in a fun and engaging way.

At the end of each unit, students will have a beautiful lapbook to treasure and show off to their family and friends. These lapbooks also make great bulletin boards to display student work! With nine different products and 250+ pages of resources, this bundle has something for every month of the school year! Bonus: with digital formats included, these projects will accommodate in-person, virtual, or small group instruction.
