Linking up this week with Doodle Bugs teaching :) Click on the image above to visit her fab teaching blog!
1. MEALWORMS! The first MONTH back to school in 2nd grade in my district means that these little worms are living in your classroom. Ughh.....
Making observations about the mealworms during centers time...at least the kids like having the mealworms around! |
2. Back to school Bulletin Board! I love love love making new bulletin boards and this one is so quick and easy! I used paint and glitter for the "Happy New Year" and then a marker for a little insert for the word "school." It's not that easy to see in the pic but hopefully you get the idea :)
I made these little half sheets to fill in about the "New Year Resolutions" for 2nd grade :)

Happy Friday!!
I love your little butterfly lifecycle craft! Too cute! I love your book boxes too. What do your kids use them for? I am super excited to have found another second grade blog to follow through Five for Friday. Happy weekend!

Hi Jaime! We use our book boxes for books that kids are currently reading as well as other books they've selected from the classroom library that they want to read during independent reading time (all the books in their boxes have to be at their reading level). I don't let kids keep books in/at their desks bc I've had WAY too many torn/crinkled/lost books over the years!

Thanks for coming over to check out our new blog :)
Deleteand have fun on your Ikea trip-- I could spend DAYS in that place!!
I stopped by to visit via Doodle Bugs's linky! I did not know that Ikea offered those magazine boxes - that's a downright steal! Slightly jealous of your weather...it's been in the low 90s and icky here in South Mississippi (I didn't intend for that to rhyme, ha).
