Welcome!

Welcome to Mrs. Blair's 2nd Grade class blog!  This blog is designed to keep parents updated on what is happening in our classroom throughout the year!  Since I have so many full-time working parents, this is a way for you to have a look into what is going on at school without actually coming in! 

This year has already gotten off to a great start!  I have 20 cute, smart and funny 7-8 year olds to hang out with every day!  What more could a teacher ask for? :)  Here is a little digital tour of our room.

Here is our Objectives board.  This is where students can find the daily objectives listed for each subject.  This helps us to remember what the focus is for that day, and which Common Core standards we are hitting in each subject.  The Must Do/May Do list is where students go to find out what they should be working on at any time.  When they finish everything on the Must Do list, they check out the May Do list for other choices.

 This is our art cupboard! (My favorite)  On the outside students can look at the Did You Know fact of the day to learn a fun fact.  This is also one place our class rules are posted.

 Here is our rug and Smartboard.  We do a lot of whole class instruction and discussion here.

 We look at our calendar each day and talk about the weather, upcoming events and the number of the day!

 Part of our class library.  On these shelves I choose books that go along with what we are learning, or books by favorite authors for children to choose from.  We also have a class leveled chapter book library and picture books sorted by topic.

 A shot of the whole room.  We love bright colors and Dr. Seuss in 2nd grade!

I am looking forward to another year of fun in 2nd grade!
