August currently!

By Unknown -

Awe...,,. Here we go.....

Alright!
Listening: Boom Clap by Charli XCX I stinking love this song. I get it stuck in my head when I wake up in the morning!

And to top it off its in the sound track for Fault in our Stars!

Loving: this summer has really just flown by. It's hard to believe that this upcoming week I am don't with summers. I have SOOOOO many projects I need to finish this week!

Thinking: I am currently writing this blog post in my cell phone, and did the currently picture with the app A Beautiful Mess. I blog quite a bit on my phone actually but for some reason this was really tough.

Wanting: as I stated above I have a lot of projects to get done this week. One of the big ones is printing, laminating, cutting and adhering my new labels to my supply buckets!

I'm excited about them soooooo cute

I'm planning in getting these into my store tomorrow. What other themes would you like to see? I'm going to use my neon leopard print papers to make some but are there others?

Needing: indeed to start waking up at 430 to get into some habit. The only problem with any habit I get into is that pesky trip to Europe the week before school starts!

Ugh

Any resemblance of a sleeping pattern will be gone. Ick

1st days: I go back on the 11 to work in my classroom and set up the iPads. Students come back on September 2. Incidentally that is 12 hours after I get back from Europe. Not time for jet lag for this girl!

Hope you're august is great!

Cheers

    I'm with you on needing things to laminate, cut, and attach everything. Can I just wiggle my nose like Samantha on Bewitched and have it all happen for me?

    Have so much fun in Europe! I'm so jealous!

    Love Boom Clap too! It's such feel good song. Major props to you for getting this done on your phone. I have a hard enough time getting it done on my laptop at times. Europe-I will have to vicariously live through you. I hope you will be posting photos!

    Could you make a polka dot version of your Sterilite template? My room is going to be a polka dot theme this year and I think that would be fun. If not, that's OK. :) I am jealous of all the time you get in your classroom before school starts. Do they fill it with meetings or do you get time to work? We have to go back 8 days early but it is so full of meetings that I end up having to work late hours to get everything done.

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...
