However, I did receive some exciting news today in the mail from my favorite teacher magazine ever, The Mailbox. I'm getting one of my classroom ideas published! I'm not at liberty to explain the idea at the moment since now it's property of Mailbox... but I was rewarded a $20 gift certificate for their publications (and a complimentary issue of the magazine with my idea in it!). That's pretty exciting for me since a) my dream-but-not-realistic job of designing reproducibles all day at Mailbox is a link closer and b) my name will be in print! One step closer to becoming a published writer (okay, so it's not like a Newbery-worthy idea, but still!). Who knows what's in my authorial future? :)
Since it is past 10pm right now, I will leave a few photos of some recent second grade excitement in closing. Last Friday, we had our "magnetic" Repel Races. The students were instructed to make a car by securely attaching a teacher-given magnet somewhere on the vehicle. They then had to race them by using the principle of "repel" to move their cars. Needless to say, the kids loved it.
Next time, I will post photos from today's field trip to the Children's Museum.-- Miss Chelsea :)
