Grade 2 Spelling List

This looks really promising! Second Grade Spelling List. Includes free printable worksheets, plain list, abc, and unscramble for each week. And there are 36 weeks!

Remember D.O.L. (Daily Oral Language), I found a site with some free ones for each month here.

Bingo!

The first day of school is always a "Back to School Party!" We bake a special treat the day before, and play a fun game of Bingo while we eat our treats. This year we are baking Neapolitan Cupcakes the recipe is in the amazing book, "Cupcakes! from the Cake Doctor." And for bingo I went on the search for some to print.

I found quite a few that seemed swell and fabulous, but then I found this gem (imo).
Custom Bingo Cards

You can select blank or among many of their themes, including holidays, characters, shapes, math, and so forth. You can choose to print in color or black and white. I landed with Shapes in black and white, and will be coloring these in tonight and then putting contact paper on them so they hold up.

I'm super excited to print sets for the different holidays!

I found this blank bingo card from Bingo Card Printer. But am definitely going with the time saver bingo in the first link.
