Welcome to Mrs. Marks’ Second Grade
Let me tell you about my classroom. Our motto is “We are all together under one sky.” The boys and girls know that I am all about fairness, kindness, and respect. We start each day with a few songs:
“Good, better, best, Never let it rest, Until the good is better And the better is BEST!”
“Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other’s gold.”
You are the b-e-s-t, Best of all the r-e-s-t, rest and I will l-o-v-e love you all the t-i-m-e time!!!!!
Our Class Rules:
We are responsible for what we say and do. Hands are for helping not hurting. We use caring language. We listen to each other. We honor each other’s feelings and beliefs.

One more thing
you should know about me is that I try to give the children some
opportunities to move and stretch throughout the day. Brain
research tells us that movement is good for learning. It stimulates
the brain and helps dendrites grow and make good connections. We do
this with song, drama or rhymes with actions. It’s fun and makes the day
more pleasant and enriching for the children. Additionally,
creativity is a most cherished commodity. Children are best at it
and entitled to it. I seize every opportunity to let them express it. In an
age when buttons and clicks light up everything, I still believe
that crayons and paper can be magical. Mostly, you should know that I
love what I do, always have, always will………………
