We've been busy book shopping for Daily 5. 

We have worked so hard building our stamina. We're at 18 minutes for read to self and 12 minutes for work on writing!!!

We love BRAINPOPJR

We use our Smartboard for manipulating our Spelling Words

No David is still one of our favorite books!

Open House Week at TBA

Day 1: Meet the Teacher

Hi! I'm Michele and here are a few things about me! Just click here to find out more!

Grade you teach: 

I’ve taught K, 1^st, and 2^nd. I’m currently teaching second grade. I love the primary grades!

How long have you been teaching? 

I’ve been teaching for 10 years. It sure does go by fast.

What is your teaching "style"? 

I feel that learning should be fun, engaging, and individualized for each student. School should be a place where children look forward to coming each day. My goal is to create life-long learners who enjoy learning and experiencing new things. I try to incorporate as much visual, auditory, and kinesthetic aides into my lessons. I love integrating all subjects. If you walk into my classroom you will tons of anchor charts, lessons on the smartboard, and tons of cooperative learning. My classroom may seem chaotic to the outsider but everyone knows exactly what they are working on.  I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Monday Made it

I finally labeled my black bins. I'm loving them. Thanks to Ashley!

My kids use these pencils all the time. Instead of using "Kindergarten Words" they find a better choice.

Printed my backpack tags that match my Transportation Display

 I'd love to giveaway 3 copies. Just leave me ANY comment below with your email to be entered!

Made dinner which is HUGE. I normally don't cook.

Chicken Divan- It's my favorite
