Interactive Learning

There's this BEYOND AMAZING website www.TheTeachersGuide.com for 1-3rd grade! Ive used their resources last year when teaching first grade and this year I was moved to 2nd grade and thank god, I'm able to use their resources once again. The website covers majority everything From grammar to break down of Themes, units and weeks! So far, I have yet to find anything that I'm missing. Here is a sneak peek of a few interactive grammar activites I've printed, lamented and turning into games! The students love it!

It's all about BOOK IT this year!!!

My students weren't encouraged to read everyday so a coworker of mine told me about Book-It! It's a reading incentive program through Pizza Hut. every month the students are able to earn a FREE personal pan pizza if they complete a weekly reading log. Visit pizzahut/bookit.com for more details. I used it last year and it was amazing. Can't wait to bring it back to my classroom this year!!!
I also add a small reading goal certificate to make it twice as rewarding to read!!!

Open House Fun.......Pinterest made me do it!!!!!

Have you scrolled on Pinterest and thought to yourself "how can I NOT NOT do that?!?!" Yup! That was me. And that how I ended up making these lovely edible oysters and mini cheesy sea star sandwiches for open house, which happen to match PERFECTLY with my classroom theme!!!
I would also like to thank Dr. Sanchez for giving back to the kids. He donated these toothbrushes, toothpaste and mouthwash. Awesome! Blossom!!!!

Ms. Singh's Open House 2015

So this year I wanted to do something a little different For open house since I have the same students from last year. I've decided to prepare a "Parent Survival Kit" as a small token of appreciation to my students parents. The parents have truly helped and supported me a great deal last year. I found a few ideas on Pinterest and added a few of my own. This is the poem
And these are the items I used
