Make paragraph writing easy with these three simple steps

July 5, 2022

Paragraph writing problems solved For years, paragraph writing in my fifth and sixth grade classrooms has relied on the colors of a stoplight. Most students do well with the formulaic nature and paragraph organization that is embedded within this model. I've had two problems gnawing at me though. The first problem is ... read more

How to Teach Long Division So That Their Answers Are Accurate

February 16, 2021

Teaching Long Division. I can almost feel the pain just typing the words. I think I have some residual PTSD from erasing a hole through my paper in Ms. Donahue's fourth grade class in the 80's. Guessing wrong how many times 37 "go-zin-ta" 566... and not knowing until the end of a traumatic subtraction exercise complete with WAY too much ... read more

Video Math Lessons Help Students Self-Assess

January 19, 2021

One of the most challenging aspects of teaching math is assessing each student’s level of understanding. It feels like it changes minute by minute- and there’s no neon ticker scrolling over their heads! I was shocked when I realized that the video math lessons I was already making, might actually help with assessment. My biggest fear, ... read more

Digital Writer’s Notebook

September 21, 2020

In 2018, I toyed with the idea of digital writer's notebooks. In 2019 I piloted it with just one class during the Writer Wednesday part of our weekly ELA warm ups. When we found ourselves in a global pandemic in 2020, I was glad I took that risk! If you'd like to try my templates out for yourself, click here. I love this format for a few ... read more

How to Teach Multiplying Fractions

April 26, 2020

It took me years to figure out how to teach multiplying fractions so that students could conceptualize a part of a part. I learned that the traditional algorithm had to take a back seat to drawing and color coding models. When teaching this unit, I've found that the most important tool for my students- is sharpened colored pencils. We ... read more

Subtracting Mixed Numbers with Video Lessons

April 19, 2020

Every year, many of my students struggle to subtract mixed numbers when regrouping is needed. Flipping my instruction around subtracting mixed numbers has made a HUGE difference!

No More Reluctant Writers

November 14, 2019

For years, the reluctant writers in my classroom were my biggest stressor when it came to teaching middle school writing. There were so many students in my class that just needed to pick up their pencil and write!! No matter how much I begged, some students just would not write... and if they wouldn't write, it was hard to get to those ... read more

Yes!!!! 🎉No more Snapchat in biology. No more TikTok in the lunchroom. Instagram in history class? It’s a thing of the past.The progressive boarding and college preparatory Buxton School has notified faculty and students that, as of the start of the fall 2022 semester, smartphones will not be allowed on campus. At all. Since most of the students live on campus, that is effectively a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week ban on the devices.Smartphones will be banned entirely from the school and not just for the kids — for the adults, too. People will still be able to use “dumb” phones and connect to the Internet on laptops or tablets. Adults have been decrying the risks of phones for at least a decade, while kids have clung to their Insta’s and Snapchats ever more strongly. And schools have yo-yoed back and forth between banning phones and allowing the devices, even, in some cases, encouraging their use for class projects.Buxton’s smartphone ban was a long time coming. Teachers felt that the always-on devices seemed to be discouraging kids from starting creative projects, attending social events, and even just hanging out together.Not many schools have taken such a radical step. For most of the past decade, the trend has been in the opposite direction. Led by New York City in 2015, many school systems have repealed phone bans and allow students to carry the devices in schools. Concerned about smartphone use at your child's school?🔲Talk to your kids about the importance of putting their phones away during the school day. When phones are out during the school day, grades go down and bullying goes up.🔲Limit your kids access to everything on their phone except calls during the school day with Apple's screen time feature, Google Family link or other parental control services and apps.🔲Advocate for a stronger smartphone policy at your child's school with resources from Away for the Day.🔲 Do not text your child during the school day! Teachers say that constant texting between the child and parent at school is a huge problem.
