Welcome To My Blog!

Hello everyone! This is my new 2nd grade blog!  My kindergarten blog will still be there, no worries! :) I decided to name this blog Second Success because I will be teaching 2nd grade (obviously) and this will be my 2nd teaching position.

This year I will be teaching 2nd grade at Lawndale in Amarillo. I am very excited! Everyone I have met has been very helpful & I am eager to begin this year! I can't wait to meet all of my students! Starting Tuesday I will begin delving into the TEKS with my teammates. I am dying to get started!

Here are a few pictures of my classroom when the previous teacher was still in it & packing to move.
















My classroom spent the summer in boxes in my bedrom & living room (see above pic). I am soooo glad to have my house back!
Here are pictures after most of my things were moved it. 

 These boxes were left in my room by the retiring teacher. Lots of good stuff in here!!! Tons of books I am very excited about! 
Lots & lots of desks!
