Where did you get those glass or plastic containers with the lids? I want to do Student Lotto where I put their numbers in ping pong balls and those would be perfect!
Also... The yellow on yellow doesn't show up on your sound wall. It looks like letters are missing. You should use a sharpie to trace the letters so they pop.
For the birthdays I would do exactly what you're already doing but put it on the right side of the mirror and use both of those doors for the birthdays. You can put the same pink paper on each door and use the border same border but instead of putting a piece in the middle where the door closes just put border on the edges next to the hinges. Just do six months on each door. Also put birth on one door and day on the other. When it's closed it'll look like one big bulletin board and you won't have to resize or reprint what you have already and it gives you plenty of space for all the birthdays.
Oh my, it looks sooooo great!! ✨ You are incredibly lucky to have all that help! I'm on my own in my room and probably would have sat on the floor crying with all that work to do.🤣 You really turned that classroom into your own! 💜
Okay 1 minute in and I just have to say what is it with teachers having to sort and organize other peoples stuff when they start a job?! I feel like people that work in an office don't go into a cubicle full of stuff that you may or may not want! I mean it's nice to get handed down supplies but hard if you're trying to organize and fit your stuff into it. All that to say, Good Luck and I'm sure it will look great when you're done!! 👍🤗
New here! I’m so glad I found your channel. This year will also be my first year teaching and in 2nd grade. Thanks for all the great ideas. I really enjoyed the entire vlog and your edits are hilarious. Can’t wait to see what’s upcoming. 🥳🥳
They are from TPT! It's called: Early Finisher Task Cards for 2nd Grade - August and September by Cori Blubaugh - Mrs B's Beehive She has a full year bundle but I only bought beginning of the year to see if I like it!
I taught second for 4 years (and first for 3 years before that), before being moved to Kinder last year. 2nd graders aren't quite as independent as you probably think, so they're still going to need a lot of explicit teaching re: procedures and expectations. I gave each of my students a personal dictionary so I could add words they frequently used in their writing (places they travel, restaurants they love, etc) and that helped cut down on them needing as much assistance during writing. I did have a word wall, but they really relied on those dictionaries and it made it a lot easier for me. You can find a bunch of them on TpT - I just sent them to my district's copy center and had them bound and they kept them in their chair pockets. Just an idea for you! :)
Where are you teaching? Curious because of your class size and when you guys start this year. This is my favorite time of the year!!! Congrats on your new job!!!
I’m excited to watch your videos! Is there a reason you are not using transfer tape for your cricut labels? Curious if there’s something I should know that I don’t because I always use transfer tape.
I started my career (lots of years ago!) in 2nd grade-you will love it! I’m in third grade now, this will be year 13, and I love it! Glad I found you here!
There is a video of a female astronaut (I don't remember here name, sorry!) reading Rosie Revere Engineer from the International Space station! Our librarian shared the video with us this past year. I don't have the link near me as I write this but I bet you can find it here on YT! I have seen and love many of the same books. Also, I had a student this past year that the Anxious Ninja sounds perfect for so thanks for sharing!
Next year will be my 5th year teaching and my 2nd year in 2nd grade. It's my favorite grade to teach! For book recommendations...my kids were OBSESSED with Dogman and the Magic School Bus books. They also love any animal nonfiction books. ❤️☺️
