Saddle Up for Second Grade

So this week I am taking a break from Step into 2nd Grade with Mrs. Lemons blog and I decided to find other 2nd grade blogs. There are so many out there. I came across a blog that really caught my attention. It's called Saddle up for Second Grade. Marcy is a second grade teacher in Texas. On her blog she lists her lessons plans for the week, which I find that very helpful for teachers. It gives you some ideas on what to do in your classroom. Also on her blog, she even has Instagram photos that she takes of her classroom and what activities they do that day. So this week I’m going to talk about her lesson plans. Marcy explains how she plans her week. First she meets up with her partner teacher on Tuesdays to talk about the upcoming week. They both teach the same concepts so they brainstorm ideas off of one another. Then on Wednesdays she plans everything out, which sometimes it may roll into Thursday or Friday. Marcy plans out her full week in five subjects (math, reading, ELA, writing, and science). All of her lesson plans she posts on her blog you can click on the picture and download it to your computer. Here is an example of her math lesson plan for the week.

Here is an example of her writing lesson plan for the week.

Her lesson plans are very helpful for teachers. Especially if you're ever stuck and need some ideas to teach your students. Overall, I really enjoyed reading her blog and I'm going to check back in a couple of days to see if she adds any new posts.
