Summer is coming to an end and it is time to get back into that school routine again! I am so excited about meeting my new group of 2nd graders!! I know we are going to have a FANTASTIC year!!
I want to take a little time to introduce myself, my name is Jennifer Blevins and this is my 2nd year at Monrovia teaching 2nd grade. I am from Decatur and married to Rodney Blevins. We do not have any children, but we do have an adorable Yorkie named Conrad and the kids will hear me talk about him alot! :) I graduated from Athens State University with my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and am currently working on my Masters Degree at UNA in Collaborative Education. I am an active runner! Some people think I am crazy for doing it but I love it!! I have ran 7 half marathons, 1 full marathon (I am currently training for my 2nd), and a 12 hour race where I ran 43 miles.
I will have several ways of communicating with you throughout the school year. I will email newsletters out every Friday. I will also post copies of the newsletter on our class website. On the website you will find links to both this blog and our class wiki. This blog will be used as a fun way to share whats going on in class. I will share activities and post pics of the kids doing them on here. I will also post reminders. Please subscribe to the blog and you will get email updates whenever I post something new. The wiki will be used to post student work. If the kids to do an in-class project or something special I will post it to the wiki, so you can see and share with others. It might be a student reading a story they wrote in class or I might attach a slide show they complete in computer. Just anything that can not physically be sent home that you might want to see! I will let you know when I add new stuff so you can check it out! :)
I am so excited about this school year and can not wait to meet everyone! Don't forget 2nd grade orientation is August 11 at 6:45pm.
See you soon!
Mrs. Blevins
