Happy Hump Day, friends! I always feel accomplished when Wednesday afternoon rolls around 🙂
Today we started reading Non-Fiction books about
frogs. My kiddos were enthralled during our reading time because come to find out, frogs are pretty interesting! Charts with post-it notes are pretty much my thing this year. I just can’t see myself making 2 of every chart for my classes. Plus, I can take the post-its off and reuse the charts year after year. The frogs on my chart are in
THIS unit. Made the perfect little accents 🙂 Oh, and I display books that fit our reading theme at the front of the room so that my kiddos have extra books to read when they get a chance!
If I had more time, I would have had my kiddos write on the post-its, but I was just squeezing this in. After we filled up our chart we went through and put stickers where we found juicy words.
I actually did the venn diagram on the whiteboard with both classes and then transferred our ideas to a chart afterwards.

I was just wondering if you have had time to look at the new revised Math TEKS?
This is my first year teaching second grade and I am new to teaching. Your blog is a life saver. You have such amazing, creative ideas. I feel overwhelmed at times trying to find ideas to teach different subjects. Your blog helps me to relax and find things that will really work with my kiddos. Thank you of sharing all of your great ideas 🙂
