Student learning is no accident!
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
Dear Teachers, Thanks for wanting to jump back in with us as we dig into Assessment in Instruction! This is the last of the 4 challenges- and I know you’ll finish strong! To get started, think about which level you feel most accurately describes your daily teaching experiences… Level 1: There is little or no assessment or monitoring of student… Read More
‘An Environment of Respect & Rapport’… This is an area I find myself discussing quite often with teachers. At least once a week, I have conversations with teachers about how tricky they find this particular domain/ standard to assess. Recently, I attended a presentation about how some teachers and mentors are tackling this very topic. Before we think about how… Read More
So, your school department actually has a manual for you and it’s full of printables… They were designed by educators and statisticians… and people that must know more about teaching this content than you do… so why aren’t you students engaged? Well, I am writing this post to make sure you don’t “throw out the baby with the bath water!”… Read More

This seems shocking, heartbreaking and also scary to me. I cannot imagine a situation where this makes sense.
Jamaica’s high court rules school can ban dreadlocks

The case touched on issues of identity and one of the most recognizable symbols of Jamaica’s Rastafarian heritage.There were lots of indicators (right on the box) of the exact SIZE of these mini cones.
But they were ALL lost on me 😂🤣😂. Imagine my surprise when I opened the box of 36 (duh 🙄) and saw just how mini they were!
Luckily, these kids have a great sense of humor and were psyched to have 3 cones full of the greatest watermelon gelato ever. (Recipe by @dreenaburton )

Teaching multiplication of mixed numbers can be DICEY!!! It’s a whole lot of steps.
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!!! They can rewatch that tricky part 10 times if they want 🤷🏼♀️
Dear Math Students,
Have it YOUR way!!! 😘😘
Head over to my Write Solutions TPT store to see all of my Guide Me Packs. And stay tuned to my stories & follow my store on TPT. When I post this one, it’ll be 50% of 24 hours!
