Student learning is no accident!
I used to cringe watching students stuff papers into their folders to be lost in the locker abyss… after I had spent so much time thoughtfully providing feedback on their work!! I spend so much time writing thoughtful questions about their math thinking and comments aimed at pushing their scientific curiosity… It was killing me to know that none of… Read More
I decided early this year that I have a responsibility to improve the quality of online discussions. As a teacher, I often feel responsible to improve the world I live in. Knowing each year, that I will spend so many hours every day with so many impressionable, mold-able citizens of the future- can sometimes feel like a lot of pressure…. Read More
After using a class set of Chromebooks for the whole second semester of the school year in my sixth grade Humanities class, my brain is spinning with all of the “next time I’ll…” ideas. Here are a few: 1. Simplify & standardize the creation of students’ usernames and passwords. If students are creating an account that is linked to their… Read More
I frequent a Sunday night Twitter chat, #edchatri, where amazing educators from all over the US help me approach the coming school week with the right attitude. During these chats, I discover amazing resources shared by fellow educators, who I now consider to be my colleagues, despite the geography that separates us. There are some Sunday nights that the quantity… Read More

Everything in my management arsenal goes out the window. I’m on high alert and I switch hats more often. My teacher glare takes a hiatus and I worry first.
Lots of kids are “different” at school. Sometimes I don’t want to see their “at home” selves. I miss the BEST that they bring to in person school.
We’re tracking them down and making the calls and being as positive as possible... all while building this plane we are flying.
Maybe, we could all just prioritize health and safety and lay off the gatherings for a minute so we don’t need to do this again? 🤷🏼♀️

Teaching multi-digit multiplication can be DICEY!!! Especially during a pandemic, with some kids on Zoom and others in your room🤷🏼♀️
I’m so happy to provide my students with the opportunity to move and learn at their own PACE.
🙄There’s always someone rolling their eyes because they don’t need to see that problem ONE MORE TIME.
😬And there are 5 other kids grimacing at the thought of “independent practice.”
🦄🌈That’s why I created Guide Me Math. Each pack includes a clickable link for each problem. This way, students can determine the accuracy of their answer- before doing more problems the wrong way 😬😬
🥸ANDDDD they can watch and listen to me walk them through the problem as many times as they want!!! (Without the kids in the first row knowing they are confused!!!) They can rewatch that tricky part 10 times if they want 🤷🏼♀️
❤️❤️Dear Math Students,
Have it YOUR way!!! 😘😘
