A NEW beginning for a second grade teacher!

Hello everyone!  Today is my first blog!  I am very excited to this new adventure into blogging.  I follow many teachers and I have learned so much.  I truly appreciate all the work other teachers do. 

I have been busy this summer reading and making new items for my classroom.  I can't wait to share them with you and with my students. 

I am going to start Daily 5 this year and I have been busy getting my book bins together (ice cube trays from Wal-Mart).  I have also organized my books for the children to go shopping for their books.  I am eager to start this because I know the children will benefit from the extra reading time and the one-on-one time with me.  I truly loved reading the book by "the sister."  I encourage anyone to read this book.

I am also going to start math stations during my math block.  This will run just about the same way as the Daily 5.  Needless to say, I have been very busy getting things organized. 

Check back soon and I will have pictures of my classroom and let you know how the year is going.
