Engaged in Math Class

February 14, 2019

In the next few posts, I’m going to focus on Differentiating Instruction in the Math Classroom. I will give you three strategies you can use immediately in the lessons you already have planned- to reach all of those kids! I promise not to ask you to do ANYTHING that wastes your time. I promise to only save you time.

Teaching Fractions: 3 Keys

Teaching Fractions: 3 Keys

October 23, 2018

If you’re thinking about fractions, you might be a 5th grade teacher… Thanks to the Common Core State Standards, fifth grade now throws the wildest fraction party on the block! I taught 6th grade math back when that was fraction central, and I learned 3 key things along the way. They have been just applicable in the 5th grade classrooms… Read More

Talking About Fractions in Math Class

Talking About Fractions in Math Class

July 31, 2018

“The ones that are doing the talking are doing the learning.” I know that. But, no matter how many times I say it, the impact on student learning in front of me is profound and somehow surprising. There is no example stronger than that of talking about fractions in math class. I’ve spent most of my career spending part of… Read More

Fractions and Decimals Made Easy

Fractions and Decimals Made Easy

June 19, 2018

If teaching fifth and sixth graders has taught me anything, it’s that fractions and decimals can be ABSTRACT and TRICKY… and that kids have to be developmentally ready to perform operations on them. The good news is- the standards aren’t encouraging us to get kids to add, subtract, multiply and divide 5/32 and 16/71! We make equivalent fractions as a… Read More

Building Community through Discussion

Building Community through Discussion

April 17, 2018

Class Discussion Norms (In my class, these become our Community Norms and replace any “rules”) Equity of Voice: Monitor your airtime. As a group member you are responsible to be a speaker AND a listener. You are also responsible to invite others to speak. Equal(ish) airtime is the goal. Our community values all voices. 
Active Listening
: Eye contact, nodding, being… Read More

I always read reviews before I go someplace new. Museums, attractions, theme parks… I want to know what to bring that I may not have considered… I want to know if I can pack snacks, if reentry is allowed. You know, parent survival stuff. Well, I am starting a new trend. ♥️ From this day forth, all reviews I write will detail if access to the exit is blocked by a gift shop. If you are forced to escort small, impulsive exhausted humans through a gift shop AFTER finally convincing them to leave an awesome place… if an establishment chooses THAT as their peak marketing opportunity for plastic crap at exhorbitant prices, I promise it will appear in my review. ✏️ I’ll be too beat down to write it that day. But, I’ll write it. I’ll write it so all the other parents know before they go. And I’ll write it so the establishments with those kinds of ethics realize that their customers… those sweaty, beat down post-park day shadows of the parents they were 10 hours earlier… rehydrate. Eventually, they get home and realize what happened. And, if their kids play nicely for a few minutes (maybe with that very gift shop garbage), they can take action. What happened to them doesn’t have to happen to another parent! (And also, doesn’t it seem like it should be some kind of illegal to have exactly one exit? Like- the ONLY way out is through that gift shop? It feels really wrong.)#momlife #teachermomlife #legodiscoverycenter #momproblems #momofboys #kidswhoshop #familyouting #momrage #momrage #raisingkidspositively #raisingkidswithadhd #frugalmom #frugalmomma #familyrules #themeparks #parentingtruth #momtruths #momhack ...

  • Alicia Sullivan on Instagram: "Middle school students are special! Get class started quickly and with their help, by meeting their unique needs! They need predictability and structure, but also some agency… and they don’t want to be surprised by any unexpected content that might lead them to feel anxious around their peers. Okay?? Got that??
