June/July SLANTbox reveal

By Unknown -
What a fun month of SLANTboxes!  The theme this month was Sunshine and the idea was to fill a box of stuff that is related to the sun, summer, or smiles really!

This month I was paired with the newly engaged Lindsey from Thriving in Third to send to and Alissa Straus from Fun In Fifth to receive from.  Both women were super.  I got to know Lindsey EXTRA well when she redesigned this awesome blog!  

So here it is with the reveals!

I had to run a TON of errands yesterday that included dropping the dog out off at the vet for his comprehensive (he is all good y'all), going to the Good-Will, Tuesday Morning, and Jo-Ann Fabrics.  When we got home this was sitting on my porch!  YAY! 



Alissa did a great job of decorating the outside to make me excited about opening it (like I wasn't already excited. 



So, Alissa posted this on IG but I am posting it now too...I love the fact that you have to "unwrap it"  I did not do that with Lindsey's this month...oops. 


Take the bubbles off and this is what I found!


Her hand made card is sooooooooo stinking cute.   You need to put this in the next box!  My little cousins go to VT so it was a cute card to get.


And here are my goodies.  So many fun things.  Lots of pencils for my students to win, a super cute little stripped notebook that Alissa put an anchor on with her silhouette!  GLITTER! <---seriously who does not love glitter! glowsticks, notecards post-it notes, two sheets of yellow vinyl for MY NEW silhouette!


But on to my favorites:
The cute little custom cup!  She used her Silhouette machine to put an anchor on this and also Miss. Ivey!


These great little Punch Cards for having Great Math Skills.  I think I am going to use them with some of my lowest students to help with motivation.  I am really going to try and differentiate this year.  If I have students who can not add multi-digit numbers, why am I asking them to MULTIPLY multi-digit numbers.  I think something like this with a big reward for making SERIOUS growth would be beneficial to both them and me as a teacher!


Here is a close up of the cute little notebook!



AND THE BEST!  SKITTLES!  Taste the rainbow y'all!



Can't wait to see what you got.  Link up below!  REMEMBER if you are a blogger it is part of the requirements that you blog about it.  Please make your link to the post where you blogged about it!

Cheers,

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 children are not born with deficits in le
