Welcome to Mrs. Enoch’s class blog!  We will be using this space to share all that is happening in the exciting world of Mrs. Enoch’s second grade classroom!  At the end of each day a child, or group of children, will get together to compose an entry reflecting on what occured within our classroom on that day.  Family members are invited to read and respond to our posts!  You will also find links for Scholastic book ordering, links to web sites you may enjoy visiting with your child, and links to other sites that you may find interesting and useful.  I will add to these as the year goes on.  I will also be posting pictures of the children engaged in learning within our classroom.  I’m also hoping to learn how to post brief video clips as well!  Thank you for your interest in our blog, and I look forward to a wonderful school year!
