More info...

I was browsing around, trying to find some websites about second grade and I came across this website that has many blogs or websites for second grade. Within each of the websites that are linked to the site, there are creative ideas, tips, and ways that parents can get on and see what is happening or will happen in the year. I think that having a website for the classroom is neat because it gives parents a better way to comunicate with the teacher.

Recess!

Recently when I was observing Mrs.Thompson's class, they had recess while I was there. With this time I got to see a whole different side of the students. I saw who were friends within the class, who played with who and what they did when they were playing together. This gave me a whole differnt outlook because it allowed me to see more of what kind of a person they were, rather than just sitting in a desk. I found that a very interesting activty to observe in, but I learned so much from that.

Standards

With doing some research I came across a website that has the standards on them that must be taught in the classroom. This is a very neat websiter because there are standrads in there for all grades from pre-k to sixth grade. Also along with teh standards are ideas and ways to teach them.

Today I was looking around on the internet for some ideas on second grade and I came acoss this website that is the second grade teachers club. In this website it has ideas, pictures, links, and questions. You can talk to too different teachers about questions or ideas that you have in the classroom and also help those who do have questions in the classroom. The website for this link is:
