Week 2

The high expectations and excitement of week 1 are over and I am spent!! My feet are still throbbing from carrying around my pregnant self all week. On the bright side, I LOVE my class. I also love all the read-alouds that we can do this week. 

One of my favorites is My Mouth Is A Volcano  by Julia Cook.
                             

She is an amazing author who used to be a teacher so she completely gets it. This particular one is showing the kiddos how to manage their thoughts and words without 'erupting'. The kids get a kick out of it and learn a little self regulation at the same time! 

This week I am busily getting ready for our Curriculum Night. I am hoping to post pictures of activities we have been working on and things that I have made for the parents. Make sure you check back at the end of the week. 

Here's to another successful week in Second Grade!

Welcome to The Second Grade Life!

Welcome to The Second Grade Life!  This is my 6th year teaching and my third year in 2nd grade...and so far, I'm in LOVE!  I got married in November of 2012 and we're expecting a baby girl in November 2013. (I have been busy!) It has definitely been an adjustment adapting to my new role as a wife and now a pregnant wife. 
Join me on my journey as a second grade teacher, newlywed, and mama-to-be. I hope to share lots of exciting activities, lessons, and printables with you!  I'm constantly on the search for fun and exciting things to do with my kids and I love sharing what I learn!  And I know I have LOTS to learn!!  Here's to a fantastic year in second grade!
