#teaching second grade

[teachwithjamandbread]

I don’t have kids, but I think being a teacher at the end of the school year is like being a new mom.

-you’re exhausted

-screaming/crying children are just a part of your everyday existence

-you wonder why you willingly chose this life path

-you don’t put any effort in your appearance

-you seriously love the little people you are with, and yet you seriously need a break from them

-so tired

Cool Second-Grade Project

In my classroom, second- and third-grade students were divided up into groups of four. Each group chose one person to be the entrepreneur of their bookmark company. The entrepreneur had the final say on decisions if there were any arguments within the group. Their challenge was to create one bookmark, try to sell it to their peers and make a profit.
