Only a month away...

Until I get to meet my new class! I am so excited about the new year that I have started making a few things as summer ends for me. Yes, I am that teacher that works during the summer. I can't help that I love what I do! I made a little canvas for my door, a banner for my clothes line that says, "Welcome to 2nd Grade," and a frame for the first day for student pics.

Have a wonderful week!

Dr. Seuss Celebration

We just ended the third nine weeks of my first year of teaching! I am so blessed with such a fun-filled career. Here are a few things we did to celebrate the amazing author, Dr. Seuss.

We wore a Hat for Cat in the Hat, dressed Wacky in honor of the book, Wacky Wednesday, and wore our Pajamas in honor of the Sleep Book. We made Butter and wrote an informative recipe to take home in honor of the Butter Battle Book. We read Oh the Places You'll Go and talked about what we wanted to be when we grow up. I cropped two photos of my kids showing what they want to be when they grow up. The bulletin board turned out real well!

Charlotte's Web Unit

We finished our Common Core Unit on Friends. We decided to focus the unit on the wonderful children's book, Charlotte's Web. This is one of my favorite Children's chapter book. E.B. White was an amazing author. My class really enjoyed the story. At first they didn't understand why we couldn't just watch the movie?! I had to explain that the movie leaves out all the neat, little details and funny parts you don't want to miss! Here are some things we did throughout our unit.  We made a human web together and each person had to tell what it means to be a friend. We all got tangled and they loved it! They were so energetic with the human web!  I made a mini bulletin board where they created their spiders to be Charlotte' s friend. They made diorama's that turned out awesome!
