To squish... or not to squish? That is the question? Did I say how much I love teaching second grade?!

I really regretted committing to hanging this on a Friday after school, buuuuut it came out great. My students used this text to uncover information about Veteran’s Day and share it with our school. 🇺🇸

@GoramTor Haha I was thinking the same, I count 4. He must have the inside scoop!

My students LOVE their writing center and particularly writing post cards! If anyone has unwanted/unneeded post cards we would put them to good use in our classroom!

We started our first book club of the year! We will be reading various Tomie dePaola books as a whole group and in small groups! Thanks for the awesome introduction PowerPoint @aleciatalbot

This was a great way to start our full moon, Friday the 13th. I couldn’t help but tear up reading the sweet compliments they had for one another.

Each week my students have a Book Tasting. They browse various authors and genres by themselves or with partners. They select books for their book basket for the week. This ensures that their read to self time is entirely spent READING.

So grateful to be supported by my school and community! All the pieces to my Flexible Seating Donor’s Choose project have arrived! Students are loving them!

@TiffanyDeverELA @Scholastic So cool! Congrats!!

[Erica Tapley @mrs_tapley]

Yes, as a mom and a teacher, 100 times yes to this. It’s an investment and it’s worth it! https://t.co/Nx9TqfXF4o

I had quite a few anonymous donors this past week, and I’ve really thought about how much kindness goes into giving your money away to a stranger. I’m so appreciative! Only $39 to go!! https://t.co/ILPO3CPi4u

First day of second grade! ❤️ What an amazing group and day!
