Student learning is no accident!
Dear Fellow Teachers, Let’s roll up our sleeves, take some risks and be proud of the outcomes! It’s February and by now you have a good idea where you want to focus your attention. Maybe you’ve been observed by a colleague or administrator and you have some actual feedback to guide you (yes!!) or maybe you’ve known for months and… Read More

On Wednesday, May 20, the Washington Post published an article by Donna St. George entitled “In Montgomery County, schools and parents...💔Not all of the homes our students live in, are meant for a 24/7 quarantine. Not all of the adults who live with children can handle the added pressure. For many of our students, school has been an escape, a respite, a safe haven- from their home lives. And that escape was taken 3 months ago without warning.
🛎 I’ve come to appreciate in recent months, the vital role public school departments play in our communities. The scale of the work has been much grander than the academics and due dates. There are mobile food stations and wellness checks, phone calls and internet setups. There are intuitive teachers recognizing that “something’s just not right” and administrators encouraging them to trust their instincts.
🌼Kids are resilient. Often, they are so strong and brave, you’d never guess where they’ve been.
🌈The WHOLE picture is a big one right now. Before you judge a decision, know that there’s a whole lot you do not know. And know, that everyone involved has the best of intentions. I am in awe of the amazingly thoughtful and important work being done by my educator colleagues in schools all over right now.

🏆You do NOT need to use a paper packet!! Your kids will love and appreciate the opportunity to play these games... and their conceptual understanding will GROW.
💡Spend some time building conceptual understanding. Meet those kids where they are. John might need the cards with the visual models on them, and Dan might be cool with the bare number cards. Whatever!! They can still play ALL the fraction games. And John might not need the visuals in two weeks.
