I am not dead

By Unknown -
I have been wondering now for about 3 weeks how I would renter into the world of blogging. Perhaps just by telling you my story.

November 6th happened.

I was admitted to the hospital with an aggravated lower intestine. It seams as though 1 inch of it had deteriorated so badly that they had to remove it.

Hospital stay #1.

It was a pretty quick procedure I was back to work by the 10th.

November 12.

Complications with the "G-Tube". I was not getting enough nutrients and was severely dehydrated

Hospital stay #2
Relatively short stay took off work till after Thanksgiving.

December 2.
Pancreas attack. Hospital again, this time was put in short term diss-ability till after Xmas.

Finally I am healthy and have been in my classroom for a total of 6 weeks. Minus "cold days".

The entire time I was gone there was no long term sub so I was still teaching, creating worksheets, and videos, and flip-ables but from the comfort of my own home, and pjs.

I have loads to share with you.

Slant boxes will return in March for those of you interested.

Cheers,
.j.

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...
