How close can your second and third graders get as to 1000 with this @openmiddle problem? Who needs a worksheet when kids are fighting to get the closest?! openmiddle.com/close-to-1000… #MTBoS

I was recently asked if I collect/review lesson plans. My response, “I do not. I have in-depth knowledge of curriculum, instruction, and assessment and spend time daily in classrooms. The questions I ask students when I visit classrooms tells me more than a shiny learning plan.”
Incredible presentation about her heritage. Thank you Mrs. Hampton for sharing about the Choctaw Tribe and sharing artifacts. You made history come alive.

Expert jigsaw meets simulation as Ss become the Larkin family moving to Oregon. Groups meet with others in their same family role to uncover what life was like on the Oregon Trail. Next, they will meet as their family and share their responsibilities for the journey. So much fun.

Here are some hopes for teachers and those they teach in this new school year. The Education Week article was published online on Friday (8/26). All good wishes for a promising year ahead. edweek.org/_preview?_cms.db.…
Starting off social studies with concept development that will lay a foundation for the whole year. A TABA is a powerful tool.

This video from @gfletchy explains multiplication from 2nd to 5th grades and applies to middle and high school teachers too (think: distributive property, polynomial multiplication, etc.). gfletchy.com/2015/12/18/the-… #iteachmath

Print isn’t dead in this teacher’s classroom! See how reading print magazines can help students become lifelong learners.

I created a $39 mini workshop called How To Use An Open Middle Problem that has K-1, 2-5, & 6-12 examples. It includes how to prepare to use a problem & how to use it virtually including video footage from a class I taught remotely.
