June/July SLANTbox Sign Ups Are OPEN

By Unknown -
Tell your mamma!  Tell your friends!

OK I had a super crazy end of the year with going to Mexico, my dad getting sick, running 3 5k's, oh...and teaching.  My students were actually decent for my sub when I had one for 8 days, and they did not drive me to want to pull my hair out.  

Thanks to all my teachers friends who continued to follow me on IG.  It is so much easier to just give a quick update.

ANY WAY, the real reason you are probably here...I know It is ok.  I see those diagnostics, anytime there is something with the word SLANTbox in the title my views instantly SKY ROCKET!

OK here is what I am thinking:

JUNE/JULY THEME:
SUNSHINE!!!!!!!
I love summer, and since we have a 2 month weekend here I am saying that we are going to have a 2 month SLANTbox!  This is an easy one, and because I KNOW just how hard it is to stay caught up with emails (especially over the summer), I am going with "sunshine" basically make it something that any teacher would LOVE to open on a sunny day.

Ideas: 
  • YELLOW items
  • items with the word SUN in them (sunglasses, sunscreen)
  • Find some puns (SUN-body loves you)
  • If you get to know your partner well enough, take some photos of you and your family enjoying the sun
  • beachy things
  • I THINK YOU GET THE IDEA!!!
THis time around...because I am sorry but I just did not get to making the sign ups.... I am going to leave the sign ups open until the 22 of JUNE (THAT IS A SUNDAY YALL!!).  I will promptly make matches on the 23rd.  I WILL NOT BE DOING LATE ENTRIES...Please tell everyone you know that it is open and sign up soon so you do not forget.  I would like to have a summer this year. You will have until THURSDAY the 26th to let me know if you have not exchanged - meaning both of you have responded (SEND EMAILS TO BOTH OF YOUR PARTNERS, or RESPOND TO THE EMAIL YOUR PARTNERS HAVE SENT TO YOU!!!).  I have a wedding that I am in the weekend of the 26th so I will not be doing re-matches until JUNE 30.

WE WILL BE SENDING OUR June/July Boxes around the 25th of July.  I promise I will be more on the ball for August.

Fractions decimals and percents

By Unknown -

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 childr...
