February…here we go! A month of black history, dental health, Super Bowl ((GO STEELERS!)), Groundhog Day, Valentine’s Day, Presidents’ Day, Happy Birthday Mr. Lincoln, Happy Birthday Mr. Washington…I don’t know if I even need to say more!

I remember last year in first grade – I started teaching in January and had no earthly idea what February would bring. I am the type of teacher that wants to “do it all.” I think we’re all like that. I learned so much when I was in school, and now there are even more resources thanks to the Internet, so I want my 6 and 7 year-olds to get it all in while they are with me. Stepping back and telling myself, Brenna, you can’t do it in one year, proves to be very difficult. I’ve learned a lot even in one short year, but looking ahead to this month I’m back in “do it all” mode.

PS: I’m VERY disappointed that Mr. Punxswaney Phil saw his shadow – they are calling for snow next week…

I learned today that I cannot view or add to my blog from school (Pitt County Schools has blocked all “blogs”), which is where I spend most of my computer time (after school of course!), so I want to reflect at the end of the day a few days this month and transfer it over to home in order to post. Bare with me!




Here is a video that really helped me with Guided Reading and managing my centers this year:
