#Second Grade

First Day of 2nd Grade Ideas! 🍎 Comment LINK for the activities & puzzle link! I LOVE the first days, but they are exhausting! There are SO many fun community building activities to do sprinkled with all the procedures in between. Let me make your life easier by planning everything out for you! 👏🏽 The Back to School Bundle has EVERYTHING you need for your first days and beyond! The activities in this set best fit 2nd-4th grade students, but could definitely be adapted for 1st if you do some activities whole class (since many are not reading yet!) #classroomideas #firstdayofschool #firstyearteachers #2ndgradeteacher #teachersofinstagram #elementaryteacher

Have you tried teaching your kids multiplication in this easy , engaging and fun way ?? #learningthroughplay #mathforkids #secondgrade #multiplication #handsonactivities

In Waldorf education, math comes alive! Our 2nd graders count from their very own number wheels, drawn and explored right in their Main Lesson books. You may notice some students us the one-legged stool (or balance stool) is it used to help children develop core strength, balance, and body awareness while they work and play. Because the stool requires subtle movement to stay upright, it naturally engages the child’s posture and focus, supporting both physical development and attentive presence— key foundations for learning. #waldorfeducation #sandpointwaldorfschool #sandpointliving #sandpointwaldorf #sandpointidaho #waldorf #2ndgrader

It’s that time of year for us to start taking our end of year district assessments! In second grade we don’t state test, but we do have some required end of year assessments. As important as they are, I also want my second graders to feel prepared and confident going into them! Here are a few things we do to make that happen✏️ #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #iteach #teacher #teachers

SECOND GRADE TIME WORKSHEETS ⏰ One of my favorite activities to begin with when teaching time to the 5-minute is exploring the numbers on a clock! This activity gets students familiar with what each number on a clock means while allowing them to revise skip counting by 5’s. This worksheet is part of my Second Grade Time Worksheet Packet. If you’d like to check it out, the link is in my profile or comment TIME below 💗

3rd Day of 3rd Grade !! 🤩🥳 Not pictures, us playing buzz to skip count by 3 today … I was so impressed with how quickly they caught on to counting by 3s !! We read Counting on Katherine and discussed how even when we have setbacks, if we persevere, we can still achieve our dreams! Then we talked about how goals are just dreams with a plan and created our own math,reading and fun goals. Later we read “Just like Rube Goldberg” before we brainstormed what we want to be when we grow up and how we’ll use math to help us in our future jobs. We talk a lot about how different jobs (even cartoonist!) use math! I have them pick an image on canva of a person in their future career, and then add a picture of their head on top! I print it out and have them glue it to their picture. Also, don’t mind my slide books lol I already passed the books along to other teachers or have them back soooo I didn’t have the hard copy anymore 😅 #thirdgrade #thirddayofthirdgrade #elementary #dayinthirdgrade
