Welcome my second grade super stars. I will be your teacher this year Miss Page; however, in May I will be getting married so my new name will be Mrs. Alford. I grew up in Durango, Co where I graduated from high school before I moved to Utah to earn my teaching degree. I will be teaching you in all important areas from science to creativity and everything in between. There are a few important rules we have to get out now. First the classroom is an equal place for everyone, so it is important that you treat others as your equal. No name calling, fighting, interrupting or hurting others allowed. Second this classroom is a place for your brains to grow, sometimes it will be fun but our main goal is to learn. Last will be to treat the classroom with respect just like you treat your homes. I do have a few expectations from my students. When you are here in class you will use everything you can to learn; for example asking questions from your peers and I, working in groups, and using anything else within your reach. The other expectation is that when you are at home to ask your parents, relatives, siblings or friends for help when you are stuck on a problem. If none of them are able to help you and with the permission of your parents you can write to me on this blog and I will help you. The look of our classroom will change from time to time, please just understand that I'm trying to set it up in the way I believe you will learn best. The very last thing that I need to let you all know is that we're here to learn, so let's enjoy it as much as we can.

Hey, good job; I liked your Welcome blog. Your organization is good too. Congrats on getting married in May.
Like what you stated about students are in your class to learn even when it hurts the brain:) Like how you let your students know what to expect but the main thing was for them to learn in your class.
