Stepping Into Second Grade with Ms. Walker

Hi my name is Brittany Walker and I plan on teaching second grade. My classroom teaching style will be hands on learning. I will have learning activities for my students because learning should be fun. Students learn better and are more attentive when they are excited. Educational games and activities will play a large part in my second grade classroom. Students will learn the many ways to learn and how to be an effective student while being in my class. They will later be able to say that Ms. Walker taught them like no other teacher has or ever will.

Sharpen Your Pencils and Get Started!!!

I believe that it is important for teachers to know what and how their students are thinking when they are not necessarily quizzing them or giving a test. At the beginning of the day, my students will come into class and work on an activity that I have provided for them in their folders. The activity will not be graded, but will serve as a guide for me to check their understanding of what is going on in class. Students can make teachers believe they know what is going on, but it is the teacher's responsibility to follow up on students so that everyone is learning to their best of their ability.
