The Friday before Spring Break my principal asked me if I was still interested in teaching 2nd grade... and the answer was YES! I taught 2nd grade for 7 years before transferring to my current school to teach 3rd grade. After 7 years, I'm ready to go back to my first love. I cannot explain how excited I am. I've been busy unpacking my new standards and purchasing resources. My new team even ordered me a shirt so it's official!
One thing that I love about teaching 2nd grade in Virginia is the curriculum! I've already started purchasing books to support my science standards. Have you heard of Picture Window Books? I love their Informational Picture Books, I've ordered all the ones that connect to my standards and they've already started arriving.
When I taught 3rd grade, I created a learning handbook full of study guides from Adrienne Wiggins. Now that I'm going to 2nd, I knew I wanted to do the same thing. I spent my ENTIRE Spring Break creating study guides to go with every Standard of Learning in every subject in 2nd grade.
Language Arts
Math
Science
Social Studies
Check back throughout the summer, I can't wait to share ideas and resources for 2nd grade with you!
Congrats lady! I’m also returning to second grade next year after teaching first. It will always be my first love! Can’t wait to see the awesome things you come up with. You will rock it!!! Take care of our Care Bear during her last year!
Sharon Campbell Hi. I am a new teacher preparing for my first class in Maryland when school starts in September 2018. I would greatly appreciate any and all ideas and class resources that will help a new teacher with her first class. By the way, I am not a young new teacher but seasoned women who has raised 8 children and now I am ready to share what God has blessed me with.
I'm so excited you get to go back to 2nd grade! Yay!
