Ss were super engaged in this addition activity using place value disks. One Ss said “it’s like we’re adding in expanded form!” Thank you @nancy_estepa for these awesome math manipulatives 😁 #lovemyjob #lovethesekids

It’s a bummer @Newsela has such amazing articles that only “PRO” members can access :/ #teachersareBROKE #help

A5: I like falling asleep to a fun/entertaining book. It puts my worries at bay and let’s me escape to a fun place for a bit. That way I’m not falling asleep to anxious thoughts of “did I remember to do __ today? Don’t forget you need to make copies of that in the morning” etc.

A2: today I was picking up my students from music and some students commented when I walked in, “Ms. Reff did you do your hair?! It looks better like that!” All I had done was throw my hair in a messy bun 🙃😂

Ss used picture models to show 2/3 is equivalent to 8/12 “Ms. Reff take a picture!!!”
