First Blog!

I'm a first year teacher that is brand new to this blogging world! I will be in second grade this year and I'm sooo excited! I have been busy getting ready to be a teacher and it's a bit overwhelming! I have been so inspired by so many teacher blogs out there, so I thought I'd try blogging myself. Be patient as a I learn!

This is what I will use to take attendance and lunch count each morning! As students come in, they will move their magnet to the correct lunch choice! 

Here are the materials I used to make this cute and functional creation!
*Small mosaic tiles from Hobby Lobby (they come in packs of 48)
*2 magnetic dry-erase boards from Office Max
*Ribbon, hot glued to the back of the boards
*Magnets (the circle kind), hot glued to the back of the tiles
*Wide Sharpie for the numbers
*Black chipboard letters from Hobby Lobby

Well, what do you think? How'd I do on my first post??

  2. Looks great! I think I'm going to do something very similar but on the whiteboard and maybe sectioned off with painter's tape. I'm also a first year teacher in second grade and would love to keep in contact about our experiences!

  10. Interested to see how the pencil system works for you. I use a 2 cup system. 1 cup for sharp pencils everyone uses. When they need sharpening they put it in the needs sharpening bucket. We do not have individual pencil supplies, we share all. It helps me to not have to sharpen daily, I just do it when our sharp pencil supply is running low.
