Seating Chart

Jan 5, 2013

How do you have your students' desks arranged in the classroom? I started out with two groups of twelve desks facing each other with the white board at the end. Then I had all the desks facing the white board arranged in rows going across in groups of 2 to 4 desks with a big aisle down the middle. One source tells me that the first arrangement is g...See More

What willl you miss most about winter break?

by Joy/2nd/NV

Jan 5, 2013

Monday I go back to work after two glorious weeks off for winter break. I'm feeling anxious and a little depressed while at the same time looking forward to seeing my students and getting back on a schedule. I think I will miss having a clean house.

Judy2/CA I'll miss not having to set the alarm for 5:00 and having to get up and get going so early. I'm really a night owl.

Facetime Project

by Joanne

Jan 6, 2013

I am thinking about doing a project with my 2nd graders to improve their fluency. I'd like to partner with another class in America, preferably in my time zone (I'm in OH). You would need to have an iPad or Mac with facetime. The point of the project is to practice poems and readers theaters to perform for a "live" audience- your class! I think tha...See More

How to Triage Students’ Needs While You Work with Small Groups By Rick Morris

When I’m working with a small group of students at the reading table, I don’t like to be interrupted by other students. Nonetheless, there will be three or four of them who feel it’s critical that they share some need, issue, or concern immediately. And a...See More

2nd graders and cell phones

by Kaylee

Jan 18, 2013

When I was in middle school, cell phones were not allowed in school. Now, kids of all ages have some kind of cell phone or smart phone. Does anyone think there is a way that cell phones can be used educationally in a class room?

Leah What about the child who does not have one? Personally, I think young children are on these phones too much and that they need to be kept in their backpack or at home in second grade.

Leanne/CA Our technology department says that each child bringing a device such as a cell phone, iphone, ipad, tablet, ipod touch, etc. shouldn't start until after the 4th grade. I agree-2nd grade is too young.
