The 2nd Grade Chick

Some changes are brewing in anticipation of a new start, new year and finally knowing what I am doing in 2nd grade and my youngest starting my favorite  old grade (Kindergarten).  I want to blog more about 2nd grade while recording what J does in K so there may be a pretty personal feel to this blog this year.  I am also trying to convince one of my very favorite K teachers to blog with me. With my new blog design I will be changing the blog name.  Haven't quite finalized one yet. Who knows, maybe doing all that will assure a move back down to K :). In all seriousness though I enjoy 2nd graders a lot!  I miss K curriculum and knowing it inside and out as well as all the little singing we did.  One of my goals is bringing the singing back to 2nd.  Wish me luck and good luck to all of you. P.S. School starts Aug. 12. My family :)

Real quick thoughts I want in blog land.  My daughter is a stock image and I really am gonna miss Nick at Nite when school starts The Bubbly Blonde knows me well and make this for me!  Happy heading back to school!!!!

J loves UNO so this was a great find! Teachers think of everything!!! One month until J's first day of Kindergarten which is this house means cram time!!  I really wanted to be one the teach J to read but I'm starting to realize I may have to give another teacher this reward. (I love 2nd grade as much as I loved Kindergarten but I am missing teaching kids to read their first books.)  However seeing all the back to school ads and being only a month out from the first day I started scouring TPT and found this treasure. Sight word UNO!  J loves UNO so this was a great find! Teachers think of everything!!! Yes, I really did deal her those cards once.
