		<title>Individualizing Math for 2nd Graders</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It doesn&#8217;t take long to realize that students are all in their own places in learning.  No two students are the same (obviously), and teaching in a &#8220;one-size-fits-all&#8221; way does little to push students to reach their own potential. We spent the first 2 months really building culture.  We developed the sort of character we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Learning math through gaming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in need of a bit of help blogueros. I&#8217;d like to elicit your careful eyes in evaluating some gaming resources for not just practicing math skills, but for also learning higher order math skills independently of teacher guidance. I just know there is a strong gaming community for Math students out there that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;People Nouns&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found this via @danielpink and the brainpickings.org site.  We have really begun to dissect sentences in 2nd grade.  Today we isolated nouns that refer only to people. This video describes all the famous people who have been &#8220;objectified&#8221; as nouns throughout history.  It was created by NPR&#8217;s Robert Krulwich and Adam Cole.   The post can be found [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m new to this whole elem thing (Post #2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using google voice in the classroom since I got a beta number back when the service launched.  It was essential for Spanish language teaching and continues to be of use in 2nd grade. Very few of my students have any access to the internet at home (only 3 out of 28 of my [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m new to this elem thing, Post #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, so I used to pride myself by being on the bleeding edge as a language teacher. Helping my middle school students understand the possibilities of new tools, and sharing when they found uses I would never have thought of. It was exciting, it was sexy, it was cool. Well I&#8217;m sure everyone and their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wii for learning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summer school is wrapping up this week, at which point I&#8217;ll return to my beloved Walnut Park campus and begin setting up my 2nd grade classroom (my first year in that position). I&#8217;m going to have a space in the room with a tv and a nintendo wii, which I intend to use for health [...]]]></description>

		<title>They&#8217;re Your Future Students</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s face it, I&#8217;ve been derelict in my duties as an edblogger this year.  I think I&#8217;ve spend more time talking about how much I&#8217;ve not been blogging than I have actually blogging.  I even wrote a post back in November called &#8220;How mrsenorhill got his groove back&#8220;.  For pete&#8217;s sake. Whatever. But there&#8217;s nothing [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Teacher Planning Project #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So things are super duper exciting around here because I feel like a new teacher again.  That being said, I&#8217;m a bit nervous transitioning from a space where I had lot&#8217;s of autonomy to an area where I will be required to justify my student-centeredness a bit more to coaches, fellow teachers, and higher-ups. So [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To anticipate my new gig as a 2nd grader teacher (at my same school), I spent some time over the weekend redesigning the blog. You&#8217;ll notice our second grade logo: &#8220;Second Grade has S.W.A.G.&#8221; on the right hand side.  The acronym stands for Smarts, Work Ethic, Attitude and Growth.  You&#8217;ll notice (in the future) more of an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Digital Filmmaking Course</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey all! This summer I will be teaching a digital filmmaking course for elementary school students. Below you&#8217;ll find my proposal/outline of the course. I would love a few things from you: 1.) Ideas for shortfilms to show. 2.) Small commitment to provide feedback on ideas, storyboards, etc. on the blog. I&#8217;d like a lot [...]]]></description>
