Someone's getting excited about the new year!

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 :)

Looking for Nebraska 2nd grade Science Classroom teachers!

This summer I am working on developing our district curriculum for the new Science Standards. Anyone else? That's all.

So we have A LOT of hair at our house and about a year ago I decided it would be a good idea to grow out my hair to see how long I could go before I couldn't stand it anymore.  It is a year and a half later and I had/have lice.  Nice experiment huh?  So my daughter's Kindergarten teacher is a good friend of mine and the day after Thanksgiving break came the e-mails.  "What a day, I've sent 2 home with lice and another 2 told me that they spent Thanksgiving break bagging up toys and shampooing with special shampoo." and then "5th one just went home."  I raced home at 5:00 to discover that my kinder had a head full and guess who slept in a hotel bed with her over Thanksgiving?  Yes me!!  Time to freak out.  Please don't do this.  It doesn't help whatsover and it will be OK, I promise.   If you are reading...

Tell me more (a linky party)

I am joining up with  Mrs. Lemon's Linky Party  Tell me more!  I am excited to join because I am a big fan of Mrs. Lemon's and want to get to know more 2nd grade bloggers.  Which leads me to my first tid-bit.   1.  I have taught Kindergarten for 10 years and I am nervous about beginning a new year at a new school in second grade!  2.   I turned 35 on my last birthday.  3.  My children (ages 4 and 9) are guinea pigs to my teaching ideas.  4.  My four favorite vacations were Hawaii, New York City and Panama City Beach, Florida and Western Nebraska.    5.  The jobs I've held include retail, aerobics instructor, dishwasher, lifeguard, child-care director.  6.  Both my Grandmas were named Rose.  7.  I once hit my head on the diving board when trying to do a back flip.     8.  2 days after I was born a tornado hit my house.  My first home was a hotel.  ...
