Distance Learning for Math

Hi Friends, 

I hope you've been taking good care of yourselves and staying safe!

This is a very trying time, and it's important to remember to take of ourselves too.

I wanted to write a quick blog post about some of the math activities I've been sending my kiddos for distance learning. I also thought sharing some freebies would help you out a bit too!

Focus Walls

Hello Friends,

Don't Bother Me Hat!

Hi friends, 

I hope you are having a fabulous back to school and are starting to get into a routine with your students. As much as I love back to school, I do find the first few weeks difficult to manage and, I do look forward to when the students are clear on expectations and routines. 

One of the things I do to ensure a smooth running classroom is to take my time in September going over routines and structure. If you take your time establishing these important rules, then you'll have a much better year!

One of the many things I teach my students is that they cannot disturb me when I'm working one-on-one or in small groups. I have a visual reminder for them called my "Don't Bother Me Hat!"

The Benefits of DAILY PRACTICE & REVIEW (And how to implement it in your daily routine.)

Hi Friends, 

Today in Second Grade we reviewed and practiced in ELA and MATH. I actually do this EVERYDAY. Daily practice and review is how I get my kiddies to improve in reading and number sense. It's how I ensure that all my students acquire those important base skills that help them with grade level work in ELA and MATH.
