Welcome back! It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I’ve been busy moving to my new house and all that entails. I had today off for Good Friday so this is a perfect time to catch up with you. We made these Arnie the Doughnuts last week when we were studying character traits. I LOVE…

Teaching money in 2nd grade is not my favorite thing to do. My students often don’t recognize the coins and we are supposed to teach them to count above a dollar in one to two weeks. Fairly impossible for some of them. So, I decided to implement a classroom economy this year to continue practicing…
