SlantBox March

By -

I am back, feeling a little better and have heard the requests.  SlantBox is back.  I will not be participating this month for several reasons, ONE my district is set to most likely go on strike, meaning I will have no paycheck for who knows how long, and two, it is incredibly difficult for me to do right now.  I still have to get a box for November out that never made it due to me getting severely sick.  :o  None-The-Less, the March sign ups for the SLANTbox exchange have opened!  

So as I prepare to send out my box to my NOVEMBER partner I am thrilled to share with you the theme for the month of March. (it is amazing how important your health is.)  And if you missed a month, it is never too late to send your box to someone who you failed.  In fact, it would probably make their day more than the regular box would. 


Here we go!  The theme for March is......

Lucky To Be Teaching!!!! 

Ok. If you read my post yesterday you can see that my life, health, and job were put on hold for a little bit! The idea behind this months theme is to think of things that you are so lucky to have. Think green, think Irish, think LUCK! Perhaps it is a PD book that you could not live with out, perhaps it is something that you stumbled across and boy has it made your life easier. 

Let's face it, we are all lucky to have jobs, have careers in a profession that is so rewarding. And who doesn't like green and gold things?
In previous months I have tried to match people up with someone that they have not been paired with. I am starting over. I was also very lenient on rematches. I am sorry I am going to be ugly on this one.  

IF YOU DO NOT READ THE DIRECTIONS, SIGN UP ON TIME OR CONTACT YOUR PARTNER IN TIME, I AM NOT GOING TO HELP YOU.
I do not want to be ugly but I am trying to hold on to my sanity.

SO PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PARTICIPATION ON THE TAB AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG BEFORE YOU SIGN UP!!!!!!!

ANYWAY.

HERE IS THE SIGN UP!!!!! Same rules there. You have till the 3rd of the month (March 3rd, 2014) to sign up. You can always use the tab at the top of my blog too. ALSO, EVERYONE who is involved in education is invited to join. I mean that sincerely, student teachers, principals, coaches, classroom teachers, TA's and TOSA's are all welcome.

Have fun, See you around the SLANT BOX world!

I need to plan for my 8th graders tomorrow...ugh~

Cheers,
Jameson

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! ...

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...
