Yes, Folks, It is officially summer!  And what do all Floridians, Californians, and Australians love to do during the summer? Surfing!  Well, since I not allowed in the sun (I know....what am I doing in Florida??), I'm inside, surfing the net!  :)  

Yesterday, I opened up my weekly Bloglovin' Newsletter and all of a sudden I burst into tears!  It's nothing negative about going to second grade, just that now I won't be following all of the Kindergarten Bloggers that I love!  It's like having to say goodbye to a group of close friends....OK, so maybe we haven't met, but they share, I share back, and we all feel connected to others.  Although I've got to admit, I don't care what grade they put me in, I will always keep my eye on Deanna Jump's blog....if only for her bright sunny attitude!!

 I taught second grade many years ago and so I am not worried, but A LOT HAS CHANGED (can I hear an "Amen!").  So I began specifically looking for ideas to start up my new SECOND grade classroom!   Here are some great second grades blogs I have found!

                 

         

Check out the brand new baby blog that has just begun!!!!  I think this is one I definitely will be following and I LOVE the idea of guided math groups!!!   Book study, here I come!



All of this to say, Hey....it's gonna be OK!   I'm looking forward to making new friends and getting new ideas.  And if you know someone who I haven't yet discovered, PLEASE send me a note so I can surf their way.   Until then, Aloha!

   Well, folks, looks like both Chewbacca and I learned to read!  Or one of us did anyway!  :)
So I'm being promoted to Second Grade (yeah)!  Personally,  I am delighted because 6 years in Kindergarten was beginning to wear me out!   So I shoved everything into boxes and with Chaz's help, moved everything (even the fish) into the new classroom.   Now comes the BIG problem.....what to do with the title of this blog?   I can't be "KinderJedi" anymore and I don't want to be a "Second Class Jedi" (be quiet, Hans).   I know, I know....Obi Wan may be my only hope!!!   So....help me out....please?   I'm open for suggestions!!!???
