Starting Points

I must say that I am new to this whole blogging thing. So I forgive myself for the errors I know I will make in the days to come.  I would hope that any readers would do the same.  My name is Marie I am a fairly new teacher in an urban district in Ohio.  I am super excited about chronicling my year in the second grade. This is my first year teaching second and only my second full year in the classroom.  I also have taught 5th grade science and 1st / Kinder split. Hopefully this grade will stick.  Its where I want to be.

I don't have much to say today but I do want to share a pic of my classroom as I entered it yesterday after a deep cleaning.

I didn't do much yesterday but I did change the desk and move the kidney table which will be my command center this school year.  I plan on giving up my desk this year.  I'll see how that works I'm not sold however last year It mainly became a catch all for every random thing I had. So this is as far as I got yesterday I hope to get much further today!!!

Look at my two cutie pie helpers.
