I enjoyed seeing your classroom. I teach Bilingual First Grade in Illinois. I was curious if you teach in Spanish at all? Everything in your classroom was in English. I'm curious because I may not teach in Illinois forever... :) Thanks!

Although our students' dominant primary language is Spanish, we do not have bilingual classes. Actually, there are very few across the state. Parents must apply for a waiver and there must be enough to start an actual classroom in a particular school to start and even then, the district must approve it and follow state law. So, in that long answer, no, I do not :( I feel it is really important to communicate with parents and help students clarify in Spanish.

I'd love to hear more about your classroom!

Good luck!

Hi Eric!

I love your classroom setup. Thanks so much for the worksheets especially the homework sheet. It's the little things that take a big weight off the always having to create everything from scratch shoulders.

Eric,
Hello I am also a second grade teacher. I love your idea of the spelling worksheet for test.. I would love to use it but the only problem is that we have 15 spelling words.Where I can create my spelling worksheet just like yours?
Thank You,
Adriana

Thanks for your comment! I actually made the test form using Word and a Teacher's Font package that the school has a license to. I'll see if I can create a form that you can use for 15 words.
