Straight NO Chaser!

AUGUST:
HOME TOWN PRIDE!!!!!!!
I have been rocking some tourist time with one of my very good friends lately.  We have explored parts of the Twin Cities that I did not know existed.  As I prepare for back to school I am also seeing all of these wonderful things about my hometown.   This month we will be sharing something about our home towns. 

Ideas: 
  • PICTURE books. (I know RamonaReccomends will like this one)
  • Coffee Mugs with your home town on it. 
  • T-shirts
  • Make a mixed tape (or cd what ever) of music from your home town.  (Hello Prince!  SouL Asylum! and that band that sang FunkyTown!
  • Sports teams <---Be careful with this one...some people are die hard (enter town here) fans
  • I THINK YOU GET THE IDEA!!!
When you sign up you will notice there is a spot for state that you live in (International friends just put your city), This is so I do not match a St. Paul Educator with another St. Paul Educator. 

Sign ups will be open until July 30 (THAT IS A WEDNESDAY YALL!!).  I will promptly make matches THURSDAY the 31th.  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.  You will have until Sunday the 3rd 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 will do rematches on the 4th of August. 

As always the boxes go out around the 25th of August.

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!

I recently found a program simi

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
