BASE TEN BLOCKS AND MONEY
We are beginning to move into our place value and money unit in second grade!!!! I have made posters to help children get a visual of how counting base 10 blocks (which they find easy) and counting money (which they go in panic mode doing) really is the same concept!!!!! Head on over to my blog PRECIOUS PERKS to get your FREE copy of these posters!!!! If you take the posters, don't forget to follow me :)

Spelling Contract
Hi Gang!
School started this week for us in South Florida and man am I exhausted! I always forget how much training takes place during the first few days of the year. Must be like what they say about childbirth. God makes you forget the pain so you'll be willing to do it again!
One of the things I'll be training my new kidlets on is the way we'll do spelling homework this year. A few years ago I turned to the spelling contract and it has been a serious timesaver for me and a great learning opportunity for the kids.
Come on over to my blog to read all about it and to get a free copy of my spelling star contract!

You're Invited To My Linky Party!
I finished my "Welcome" bulletin board today and couldn't wait to come home and share it with everyone! Then I was thinking about how I would love to see all of YOUR "Welcome" BB pictures... so you are invited to join my linky party to show off what you've created!
Head over to my blog to join the fun!

PLC=GANG!
Hey Gang...are any of you using Professional Learning Communities in your school? We have been implementing this the past few years and I would love to hear your thoughts on it. How it works? Any changes that you have made.
We struggle with the meeting time. An hour is a long time for us to find in our schedule. Our specials time is only 45 minutes and by the time you head to the restroom and drop you kiddos off that is 10 minutes.
Are you creating assessments for your subjects? I would love to see what you are doing.

Please share so we can compare:)
Thanks for being my Virtual PLC Gang!

Sometimes an Email is more than an Email!
I just received an email over at The Schroeder Page that put a huge smile on my face. Friends...this is what blogging is all about. I am more dedicated to supporting all of you today because of the kind words of a teacher that I don't really know. Read more about this at The Schroeder Page!
Habitat Sort
Come on over to Keeping Up With Class for a simple habitat sort that I made for the kids to complete with a sub.
Class Parties... a "sign-up" freebie!
My Open House night is next week and so I'm starting to organize all of my many sign-up sheets that will be out... thing I need for the classroom, parent e-mails, conferences, Snazzy Snacks, and CLASS PARTIES.
I posted on my Facebook recently to ask other teachers how they handle class parties and I got some wonderful ideas which I kind of combined with my own ideas to create something that I think will work wonderfully for me this year.
I am going to have one parent sign-up to be the "Party Planner" and then (hopefully) two or three more will sign-up to help that parent with whatever s/he organizes for us to do.
I've got a freebie sign-up sheet that you can use too over at my blog! Feel free to head over and snag it... and check out the pic of my new class pet I just bought today! :)
