I’m slowly realizing how much of our country’s

I’m slowly realizing how much of our country’s history I don’t know. While I’m embarrassed to be late to the game, I do believe it’s always better late than never.

On this Juneteenth, I had my 3rd day of riding my new Peloton and took @allymisslove ‘s class. She shared some information about Juneteenth as well as her pride for her family and background.

Thank you to everybody in this teacher community who has been sharing their knowledge and stories of racism and black history in America. I am really looking forward to making this a year of personal growth.

If you already own my interactive place value char

If you already own my interactive place value chart, it's time to re-download and get the digital version that has been added to it.⁠
⁠
Many of us don't know how we will start the school year in the fall. Now, whether your students will be in your classroom or at home for distance learning, they will be able to deepen their understanding of place value with an interactive digital chart.⁠
⁠
You can open it on a large smartboard and have students demonstrate comparing digits and their place value. You can also assign individual charts to students so that they can use it as a resource at their own desks or at home.⁠
⁠
Students will have the ability to move numbers into various places, which is perfect for practicing skills like multiplying and dividing by powers of 10 or comparing two numbers.⁠
⁠
7 different charts, each with 5 different options allow for you to incorporate them across grades 3-5 as well as differentiate for students who need extension or remediation. ⁠
⁠
Place value is much more fun when it's interactive.⁠

This year definitely didn't end in the way most of us are used to. Even though COVID-19 has created a lot of negative experiences for me, I've found myself writing a virtual diary so that I can revisit my thoughts one day in the future.⁠
⁠
In the classroom, I've always liked having students complete beginning and end of the year memories and reflections. At the end of the year, they have fun going back and reading what they thought at the beginning of the year. I also like seeing the growth in some of their responses. Since we're not there in person, I can now gather student memories virtually.⁠
⁠
This digital memory book has students share beginning of the year favorite things and answer some questions about their thoughts and feelings. It also allows students to go back and fill in their favorites at the end of the year and answer some questions that will have them reflect on the year.⁠
⁠
To reinforce classroom community, I also added a "senior superlative" type activity called "Who's Who in the Class". ⁠
Given various qualities, students will fill in the name of the classmate that they think best fits that quality. (Most likely to succeed, best style, etc.)⁠
⁠
How are you wrapping up this crazy year?

Today was our last day of school and this last qua

Today was our last day of school and this last quarter has been pretty tough. We ended the year on a pretty great note, though, with a car parade through our Atlanta school neighborhood.

We had a huge car line of teachers and staff, led by a police escort, and we had so many students, parents, and members of the community come out to wave and cheer.

We certainly will never forget the 2019-2020 school year. What a crazy time to be alive.

Whether you're looking for digital resources for distance learning or you want to get a head start preparing for next year, now's the best time to clear out that wish list.⁠⠀

I have used Google Forms for a while now, so my students were familiar with completing them as we transitioned to distance learning.⁠
⁠
This week, I introduced students to quadrilaterals, their attributes, and classifying them. I assessed them with this Google Form which allows them to select multiple names for each quadrilateral based on its properties.⁠
⁠
Grading a multi-select Google Form takes a little more work on the teacher end to grade, but it's worth it.⁠
