Fun in First Grade Linky Party

Fun in First Grade is have a having party about teacher's favorite Back to School Ideas.  It's always great to get new ideas for Back to School.  So head over to Fun in First Grade for some inspiration.

I got this book last summer and my class loved it!  They really did believe teacher's do what the story says.  Gotta love 2nd graders.  Can't wait to read this again to my new class. 

Here's another idea.  Every year my class always requests that we chant this poem. 

2nd Grade Army Song

Second Grade, second grade, what do you say? (repeat)
We're gonna have some fun today!
(repeat)
We're gonna read and write and spell!
(repeat)
We do these things very well!
