Hi Friends! I am so excited to show you around my 2nd grade tropical classroom! I hope you enjoy! I’m going to get right to it. 🙂 Here’s the outside of my room, ready for some fabulous student work. 🙂 This is the view from my door. I am lucky to have a Promethean Board in my classroom. 🙂 And…

We have a new math program this year and it has a calendar component. I really like it but I will be honest, I haven't implemented all of it.

I guess I just made the mistake of assuming that they knew more than they did. So when our last benchmark test rolled around, I didn't think they would have a problem answering a few questions about monthly and…

Morning calendar time with my kiddos {2nd grade and 1st grade} has already been interesting this school year, as my preschooler {age 4.5} likes to “crash” the party. Knowing that she likes an extra challenge, I created some interactive preschool calendar pages for her. Today, I want to show you how we are using these preschooler calendar ...
