I spent the majority of my summer moving into a new house and decorating. Over the last two weeks, I went into my classroom and started to unpack and prepare for the school year in a different grade level.
This year I am teaching second grade! I am very excited about it because I have some familiar faces from 1st grade and most of my teaching experience has been in second grade.
Launching a new year!
Teaching procedures
Creating self-directed learners
Establishing a strong sense of community
Here are some read alouds that I plan to use for the first few days of school to teach procedures and expectations for second grade and my classroom.
I have more books on the way, but these books will drive to meet our Paw Pride expectations that we have in place at our building. I chose these read alouds so that students can refer back to the books when we talk about what it means to have Paw Pride (Be respectful, Be responsible, Be a problem solver, and Be safe). Stay tuned to see how the first few days of school rolls out! I am SO ready to be back into my routine!!
