Student learning is no accident!
In my second grade classroom, I’ve recently identified a troubling gap in my students’ learning… Counting. I know how important counting is… and we have been counting all year. We count while we wait in line, we count backwards and forwards, by 2s, 3s, 5s, 10s and more. We start in the hundreds, we start in the teens… So, why… Read More
The view from down here. “It all falls on the classroom teacher, it always does” she reminded me. This was my mother. A retired elementary school teacher, who had made it the long haul. In the classroom for her entire career, advocating for kids, mentoring new teachers- reminding me when I express frustration in the system that, I shouldn’t be… Read More

This seems shocking, heartbreaking and also scary to me. I cannot imagine a situation where this makes sense.

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!
