Happy Saturday Friends!
SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!!! My last day of school was Tuesday. I'm so happy!
Long time since I last posted. Since I last posted I have packed up my first grade classroom. I moved everything to my new classroom which is a portable. I was in a portable my first year with kindergarten so I know I will be ok. I will be blogging about it though. We have 22 portables so we call it being in portable land lol. Anyways...I have unpacked everything and got everything set up for next year. I still have some things to put on the wall but for the most part its done. I will not have a ton to do when I go back.
Did I mention that my new classroom is for second grade!!! I am looping with my entire class and I am thrilled. I think it will be an interesting experience. I have never taught second but I am excited for the challenge. So now I'm wondering should I change my blog to Flying into Second. What do you all think?
I made a Décor pack yesterday that includes 222 pages of goodies for you to use in your room. If you would like to win just leave me a comment with your email and 1 lucky person will win this pack!!!
Have a great weekend!!!
Beautiful pack! I love the colors. By the way, welcome to Second! It's so great that you get to loop with your class. :)

This is fantastic and it is my favorite color. I do think you should change your name! It lets everyone know what you are teaching and your name is interchangeable with any grade so I think it's a great idea.Love your decor pack and would love, love to have it. Thanks for the chance. Good luck on 2nd grade and congratulations. 57teachweaver32@gmail.com

Hello! I am thinking that you shouldn't change your blog name - unless you think you'll stay in second grade permanently - because they you'll just be changing it for one year. I do love your new decorating pack, and it's got so many great decorating ideas in it. Most impressive!

I am also moving from 1st to 2nd; half of my new class will be the same as this year. Looking forward to the change, but a little nervous after 34 years in 1st grade! If you think you might be a looper, why not reflect that in your blog name, or at least an addendum to your current name so those teachers looking for 2nd grade blogs will find your gem. Love the pack, hope I win!

Hi Latoya! I am a huge fan of yours and I hope you will keep posting material for 1st grade as well as 2nd! I think you should keep your blog the same until you know the change to 2nd is permeant. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do. I love all your materials especially this new decor pack.

DeleteI'm also moving from first to second and I will be in a portable at my new school. Yay! for change! adillard1182@gmail.com Fingers crossed- my new room could use this adorable pack!

ReplyDeleteHow exciting to be looping! I had the opportunity to do it once from kindergarten to first! Enjoy!
I'm a former k/1 looping teacher. I was in a looping classroom for 10 years! Although I loved it, I chose to stay in first grade next year. The hardest part is saying goodbye after two years!!
