After thinking about how to use this blog with my classroom I have come to the decision that I will use it as a space to publish the works of my students. I teach 2 nd grade in a Special Education classroom. I am always looking for ways to increase student production and engage my students in their learning. Podcasts and movie making are excellent ways to captivate students. This will be a format for showcasing their work as well as a message board to communicate with parents about the progress of their children.
Check back next week and see what we have been up to in Class 2-12!

Karissa says, "Welcome to Class 2-12! Our class has a lot of stuff. We have books. We learn. We have a bathroom."
John G says, "We have computers. They are fun to use."
Kenneth says, "We have a calendar. On the calendar there are numbers, months and days of the week."
Kevin says, "There are books to read. I really liked reading the book Just Like Daddy by Frank Asch."
Gerard says, "I like looking at the rocks. We rubbed them together and they became dust!"
Eder says, "We have classroom jobs. We get jobs every week on Mondays. I want to be the door holder next week."
Anthony says, "The carpet has animals inside the letters. D is my favorite letter because it is a dog."
Roselyn says, "I like to read all the books in my bin."
Brian says, "I am the weatherman. Everyday I look outside and I see the weather."
John P. says, "I enjoy school because in this classroom I can listen to the teacher and I learn!"
Aldrich says, "I like reading with Ms. Balbi."
Edward says, "We like to read books. I like to read books about bunnies."
Thank you for coming to visit.... Hope to see you soon!

Welcome to 2nd Grade!
I hope that you had a relaxing and refreshing summer. I need you to be ready for a fun filled year in 2nd grade. I just want to welcome you to my class and go over a few quick notices. We have an early lunch this year so we will be having a small snack. Please send in a healthy snack (apples, carrots, crackers) with your child. Also, we have physical education on Wednesday mornings. Please make sure that your child is wearing sneakers every Wednesday. Every child has been given a plastic homework folder. All notes, announcements and memos as well as homework will be sent in this folder. Please check the folder everyday.
September is a busy month and before we know it the leaves will be turning colors and we will be wearing winter jackets. Here are the focuses for this month:
