Teaching with Online Discussions

Teaching with Online Discussions

July 5, 2014

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

This is how a crazy teacher mom prepares her child This is how a crazy teacher mom prepares her child for kindergarten: one vacation and weekend at a time.

I don’t know about you, but the after school hours at my house are NOT ideal for teaching and learning. 

So, I grab the PRIME TIME when it’s available. Weekend and vacations. And my kids seems to get it and go with the flow. They are not in preschool this year (thanks, Covid). 

Some days they wake up in what might be an Occupational Therapist’s dream (or nightmare 😂), and they’ll say something like, “oh look! We’re playing Mama School today!!”

I’ll take it! What are your teacher mom/ homeschooling after work tips??

We’re not getting it ALL in this year. And that’s FINE. What we’ve done this year has never been done before. 

Congratulations🥳. I hope we never EVER need to do it again. 

Here’s some socially-distance-able math games. Sit them two desks apart and let them reach. Make a rule that students MIST say the complete math sentence aloud. Let them takes them home to play with family. Let them color the color-by-code practice sheets. 

Remind them that they too are doing something no one has ever done before. These kids are amazing. And, we can help them improve their fact fluency without stress.

Two. More. Days. Anyone else know this feeling? Two. More. Days. 

Anyone else know this feeling? How can one week be SO LONG?!?!

🍾To say I am excited for this coming week is an understatement! I cannot wait to do very little and follow zero bells. 🔕

☀️I hope the sun is shining and the pages are turning and nothing much else will matter. 📚

🌼If you already had your spring break, what do you recommend?? What do you wish you did more? 

I can tell you this- I will NOT. Be doing school work! 🥳

It’s Monday again!! And I wasn’t dreading it b It’s Monday again!! And I wasn’t dreading it because I did the whole dinner meal prep thing again!

Tonight, they had Mac n Cheez (@veggie_inspired sauce w/o the nutmeg) with broccoli and Chickpea Potato Fritters (thank you @dreenaburton for the IG live). Everyone had seconds 🏆

Followed by strawberry nice cream with sprinkles!! Because we can’t stop talking about the beach even though it’s cold out. 

When is summer vacation for you?? We go until June 25🤦🏼‍♀️... and I can’t imagine we’ll make it in that heat☀️!

Using Videos in Math Class. I love providing my st Using Videos in Math Class. I love providing my students with a video that shows them exactly how to do a problem! After attempting a problem independently, these videos get SO MUCH USE! Students watch and rewatch the part that THEY struggled with. No more waiting for me to do the part they care about on the board. This is personalized differentiation in action. Student driven and student centered! Give it a try. Let talk about your questions in the comments!
If you already know a student is struggling, these If you already know a student is struggling, these are some simple ways to get straight to the CONCEPT you are teaching!

👀So much of our students’ struggles are tangled up in unfinished learning around facts, whole number computation and the math anxiety that results. 

☀️If we can eliminate some of THAT, we can create some positive MATH experiences! And momentum builds. 

😳Worst case scenario: Nothing changes, and you’ve got some VALUABLE data to share with your school’s student support team (MTSS, RTI, ABC123?😂).

🤷🏼‍♀️ And here’s the push back I hear a LOT: But what about the grade?? And what if everyone else wants that easier version? 

💣1. Grades are stupid. (🤦🏼‍♀️ I know. But, really... they are. 😳 And if you don’t do this, that student is not learning the concept anyway, so??? I put an “m” near the mark in my grade book so I know it was done “with modifications.” But, whatever works! 
📣2. No one will really know about this version unless you announce it. So, if that’s an issue for you- don’t! 🤫 (Once you realize how great it is when students take ownership of what they need as learners, you may have new ideas about that👀.)

👇🏼What are you wondering about how this works? Let’s chat in the comments!!

Teaching fractions?? How’s that going? If you a Teaching fractions?? How’s that going?

If you are feeling like your students are all moving at different paces, you are NOT ALONE!

So much of the work we do with fractions has a developmental edge to it. Not all of our students are going to make the leaps on the timeline set forth by the standards. And we are STILL going to be having math class as one happy family:)

So, if you are looking for a way for John y to have the chance to see number 4 three more times, while his neighbor Jeanine blasts through all 6 problems in a flash, you might want to try Guide Me Math!

These video lessons allow kids to move at their own pace, and free you up to conference with student or pull small groups while everyone is engaged and learning. 

Search Guide Me Math in my Write Solutions TPT store to see all the topics and lessons available. 

👇🏼Let me know in the comments what topic you’ll need next!

Do some of your students fall apart in the face of Do some of your students fall apart in the face of a written response?

Don’t give up on writing across the curriculum! That short answer BELONGS on that science test;)

Here are some ways you can give your students the nudge they need to show you what they know... in writing!

Some students tense up when they have to write, some others are just STRESSED under pressure, and of course some struggle with writing.

Whatever the reason, these tips will give students the support they need to go ahead and get started. 

How else do you support writers??
