If you’ve even thought fir a minute you’d like to let someone else run your ELA or Math class for a day... this is the day! 😂![]()
![]()
But seriously, a Guide Me Math Pack couldn’t be less prep.![]()
![]()
And anyone who’s used my ELA warm ups will tell you it’s easy to accidentally just run with it for a whole period.![]()

So, if you’ve ever had a day like that... or you think you might sometime soon... just grab the bundles!!![]()

Hope this makes the final stretch short and sweet! 🧁![]()

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👀.)![]()

I know where mine went. He’s been right here hanging out with his preschool aged brother since last March... moving sticks around the yard with his wagon and his pedal tractor. I wonder what it’ll be like for him going into K this year at 6. I wonder what his class profile will be like...🤷🏼♀️ Trying not to worry...
