Really Middle School.....Really?

By Unknown -
So, yesterday my phone was stolen. 

Lame.

Not only is it lame but it is stupid.  So it was stolen out of my desk.  I had nothing in my room that locked. (I got a key to my desk today....Day late dollar short).

It was an iPhone.  A really, really old one.  So old in fact, when I went to ATT to get a new one (I have to wait 4 weeks if I want an iphone 5s...) they told me that I can buy my same style one for $0.01.  That is a penny.

So a kid stole a phone that is worth a penny.  WTF!

I went to do track my phone or what ever the app is called and the kid turned it off.  Not trackable.  So I called ATT and they hooked me up saying that it is now marked as a stolen phone and no carrier will service it.  

I ended up getting a super old track phone and I am back to good old t9.  It is kind of like riding a bike...the skill comes back pretty quick.  With the hopes that the kid will return it.

I did find out who took it through other kids :).  I do not have this student.  It is a student of the teacher that teaches in my room while I am PLCing.  (STUPID again.)

But we can not blame him just ask him if he "accidentally picked it up with his things when he left" (even though it was IN MY DESK!!!!!!)

The principal talked to the kid and told him to "check his stuff" and "if he did mistakenly grab it" to bring it in tomorrow morning.  If he doesn't I am to call the police.

So!!!!!  That means no Instagram.  No pictures of sweet stuff I am doing in my class.  No mobile email checks.  Really it just means LAMENESS.

So if you do not see any Instagrams from me for like a month...it is because I am using a dinosaur for a phone.

I have been having the worst luck lately.  It HAS to get better right?

    Oh no - that is shocking, to have something stolen from your desk. I hope you old phone comes back or the month you need to wait goes quickly for you.

    I am so sorry. That stinks. My husband had his stolen last weekend at the casino in Biloxi. It was a big pain and mainly so annoying.

    That's terrible! It's so sad that someone would do something like especially when it's old and outdated anyway... I wonder what goes through these kids minds sometimes. My thoughts are with you! If you need anything, you have all the virtual support you need! ;)

    Oh man that stinks!
    I'm super paranoid when kids go snooping around my desk. The only thing I've ever had stolen was my super cool mechanical pencils (yay for teaching 3rd grade!).
    I hope it gets returned!

    Ugh! I'm so sorry! I had stuff stolen from me last year when I was out for a week with a double ear infection during which I lost my hearing temporarily. The "stuff" isn't important, but the feeling violated and disrespected certainly is. ((hugs))

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...
