The FIRST post!

Hello and welcome to our 2nd grade blog!  This blog is set up to keep both parents and students informed of what is going on in our classroom here at the Detroit Academy of Arts & Sciences.  I am looking forward to this school year and have been preparing for it over the last month! 

Are you ready, parents and students?   I think that we’ll have a lot of fun this year.  We are going to grow and get a little better each today.  Together, we are always learning and together we will be stupendous in 2nd grade! 

Are you curious about who your teacher really is?  Well, you’re in luck, because it’s time to find out!  As you know, my name is Ms. Sheets and I graduated from the University of Michigan-Dearborn in December of 2012 (GO BLUE!).  I have been passionate about learning and working with children my entire life.  My greatest inspiration for becoming a teacher was my own 2nd grade teacher.  She made learning a fun, hands-on experience and I am hoping that I can do the same for all of my students.  On a personal level, I live in the downriver area, have a Boston Terrier named Brody, and a cat named Mariah.  I am a huge animal lover and love spending time at my favorite place – the Detroit Zoo!  My favorite colors are pink and green, my favorite foods are cheesecake or pizza, and I am crazy about drinking plenty of water each day.  I have traveled to over 25 states and really hope to see them all one day!  During the 2013/2014 school year, I’m really hoping to learn fun facts about all of you and your favorite things!


There are going to be some exciting posts in the coming weeks about books we’ll be reading together this year and how we’re going to solve that tricky problem of being in a classroom with no windows – YIKES!  Don’t worry, because I think all of you are going to love the solution for seeing outside in a windowless room.
