Monday Made It

I'll be linking up with Tara at Fourth Grade Frolics. 

It's time for another Monday Made It!

                   

Brownie Points!

A fun incentive that I found online...I forget where...

I used Velcro so the kids can easily see how many more brownies they need to earn (through hard work and good behavior) before earning a reward!

AND

Don't forget to check out my TpT store because I have been hard at work! I have made the CUTEST schedule cards, second grade formative assessments that align with EngageNY math modules, Would You Rather games, and Writer's Notebook/Reader Response Journal reference pages!

What's For Lunch?

Magnets are awesome for lunch count! I love it. These are working out really well for the second grade students in my class this year.

AND

I've been busy! I am COMPLETELY finished with my second grade EngageNY Math module review packs! There are games to review each module, practice questions for re-teaching, and formative assessments in the form of multiple choice and short response that align with each topic in each module!

Check it out!

I've completely update my classroom website!

I feel like a curriculum writing/planning rockstar.

I have been furiously planning for second grade all summer! 

For math...

I created Smart Board lessons for all eight modules worth of lessons!

I created a short response (1-2 questions) quiz for EVERY topic!

I made a 4 question quiz for EVERY topic! (a little formative assessment, here we come!)

How about an Around the Room game for each module? Yes, please!

And 30 review questions for every module? YESSS!

Oh, and did I mention a family letter explaining each module and teaching some important vocabulary?

See how much work I've been doing?

I'm very proud of myself!

I've been knee deep in classroom preparation! I switched grade levels and classrooms last week. Here is my continued progress! Still not done...but I feel much better!

I will use the yellow $1 pocket charts from Target's dollar section for our daily schedule.

I'm using true whole brain teaching in my second grade class this year! I am so excited!

The pink circles have the whole brain teaching procedures.

My CRAFT board from Ladybug Teaching Files!

Our behavior management clip chart.

A few of the whole room...all the way in the back hanging high up are our theme charts from Beth Newingham! We will add book covers to the theme chart that each read aloud belongs to.

I hot glue my picture frames to the walls! It definitely looks homey and cozy. And hot glue pops right off!

My chill out station. Mind jars, ipod shuffles with classical music, and a cozy chair off to the side.

Our meeting area! Those seats are vertical bookshelves from IKEA turned on their sides!

The two nine square shelves were from Target years ago. I love that they are open!

I love having an easel in my meeting area.

I whiteboard painted my guided reading/math table!

VOICES from Ladybug Teacher files.

A view from the back of the room.

Part of the library.

More library!

I still need to finish labeling the book bins!

Writing center

MORE library.

Math center resources.

Listening Center. Since I'm switching from fourth to second, AND I received a Kindle Fire from DonorsChoose.org....I'm thinking about ditching the boombox and using the Kindle for downloaded books in this center.

Lucy came to help! She wasn't much help...

I used extra fabric to make faux curtains!

How am I doing? Any suggestions?
