Hi, well I know it has been quite awhile since I have done a blog post. Let's be honest, life has just been busy like we all know. I'm glad to be making a blog post again after a long time.
When I first started my teaching career, I started in Special Education and taught it for four years. Then I went to first grade for a year and looped up to second grade. I taught second grade for a couple years and then went back down to first grade and have been in first for the past 15 years. The opportunity came up this year for me to move back to second grade and I'm excited to say that I am now teaching second grade. I have always loved first grade, but really enjoyed second grade as well when I taught it.
The downside was that I had to move. Although, there is a good thing about moving...it makes you or should I say me clean out and throw out what I don't use anymore!! So, I made the move and changed rooms. Since I would be in a new room, I decided to use some of the mint owl theme that we have on TPT. I actually started school 1 1/2 weeks ago with kids. I am loving 2nd grade! Below are some pictures of what my room looks like now.
Our reading area
An extra work area. On the back board will be where I will show off their good work.
Word Wall
Calendar-I had to put a post it note on Friday because I tell the kids that day is my Sad Day because I don't get to see them on the weekends. So we call it my Sad Day instead of Friday.
Material area and where we do our lunch count and milk count.
Another sitting area
My small group area
My dollar tree find-this room that I moved into doesn't have as much storage area as my other room. I found these baskets at dollar tree and got chalkboard labels to label each one of them. It definitely helped with more storage area.
Hope all of you are having a great year so far if you have started back!
