Drum Roll Please.....September SLANT box sign ups are open

By -
Hey Y'all

I had a mini panic this morning about not being able to get everything done, especially blogging.  I think I am going to designate time on Sundays, bang out 7 posts, and set them to post by them selves!  UNLESS I have something super important to tell you...Like right now!

That is right folks.

The September sign ups for the SLANT BOX exchange have opened!  I had a ton of fun getting to know my partners and as I am getting ready to send out my box to my partner I am thrilled to share with you the theme for the month of SEPTEMBER.



BUT FIRST... I want to share how I came up with it...and the rest of the themes for the upcoming months (they are by no means final).  As you know there is a question on the form you fill out for suggestions, the theme for September won fair and flipping square!  I had almost 25 people suggest it so I went with it....here it goes.....

OH MY GOD I FORGOT (blank)  

Basically the idea is to get to know your partners classroom or philosophy of teaching. Then create, find, dream up some goodies to fit right in, perhaps something they could not have got because of location, or time. Maybe it is a super cute coffee mug in the shape of a hooting owl, or a chevron covered stylus pen, or a lanyard that is super sparkly! Or perhaps it is a book on differentiation that you could not teach with out! If you do not have a classroom because you are a teacher candidate, sub, on a cart, coach, or an administrator don't worry. You are still welcome to join. Think about things that you might have forgotten to prepare for in your current position. The idea behind me choosing this theme was that it did not seem like it would be to hard to come up with items, especially with it being many of our first weeks back to school. If you do not have a blog, make sure you show your partner pictures of your room in social media or through email!

Now I know that many of us are posting some awesome before and after pictures of our classrooms so I can not wait to see what y'all are going to come up with.

There will be some new rules with the matchings so be on the look out for those.

ANYWAY.

HERE IS THE SIGN UP!!!!! Same rules there. You have till the 3rd of the month. You can always use the tab at the top of my blog too. PLEASE tell your friends let's see if we can beat the number that signed up last month. ALSO, EVERYONE who is involved in education is invited to join. I mean that sincerely.

Have fun, See you around the SLANT BOX world!

I need to go to bed now~

Cheers,
Jameson

    Hi Jameson!

    Quick question- when I signed up for the SLANT box, it stated that I will receive a response e-mail on the 5th of the month. Does the box need to be mailed out the 3rd of September or October? Thanks!!! Looking forward to doing this!!! :)

      for the sake of example I am going to use this month: I will send out your partner by the September 5th. You will then spend the next few weeks getting to know your partner, and create a box that they will love. By September 20th you will send out this box (unless something comes up and the date is changed but it should always be right around the 20th). Then if you have a blog, you will link up your reveals!

      hope that answered your questions

      Thanks Jameson! I sent you a message on IG. I have to withdraw my application for the month of September. I already submitted it a few days ago and realized that it was not the best move this month. Is there any way you could remove my application? Thanks so much!!! :) Hope you're feeling better!!!! xo

Fractions decimals and percents

HI! I am actually Blogging!  That is crazy. We are getting prepared for a huge sale on TPT and So I thought I would let you know a little more in detail about one of my newest products. My students LOVED this activity.  I went to the store and bought "Fun Sized" bags of a very popular brand name candy coated chocolate candy. (If you look at the pictures you can probably figure out what it is :))  I also bought a bag of the "Mini" version of this particular candy!  Then I snagged a box of Dixie cups.  The idea of this activity is that students are to find the fraction/decimal/percent of each color in the bag of "Fun Sized" and the fraction/decimal/percent of the "Mini" versions. THEN.  Here is the kicker...they are to compare them to one another!  OH ingenious.  Many of my students were really confused on comparing .25 to 1/4.  Having the visuals of the candies helped them to grasp this concept!!!  Score!

Multiplication is for White People Chapter 1

By Unknown -
Part One: Inherent Ability 1. There Is No Achievement Gap At Birth One of the things I find myself constantly arguing is the fact that I am a white teacher in a not so white school.  I think I have heard (from the mouths of white people) “do you ever fear for your life?” more times than I would like to admit.  No I do not fear for my life.  I know where this is stemming from, the idea that black teenagers are somehow “more dangerous” than white teenagers.  Most of the time these types of comments are from folks who I believe to not be RACIST but, let's face it, they are pretty prejudice.  And there is a HUGE difference. (By the way…statistically speaking, look at school shootings and the demographics of the shooters.  Seems to me most of them are white, and in white neighborhoods.  I’m just saying.) In the first chapter of Lisa Delpit’s book “Multiplication is for White People," (MIFWP)  Delpit reminds us that children are not born with deficits in le
