November 17, 2014. Have you heard of MobyMax. If not, you need to check it out! It's ideal for teachers because it provides SO MUCH data on students' performance. It tells you the amount of minutes students have been actively (and idly) on lessons. It gives you an ample amount of detail on students' performance on assessments too. I can't even begin to go into how much detail you will get! Now, you have the opportunity to win a Year-Long Moby Max Pro Classroom License (valued at $99)! 11/18/14: I asked m...

http://middlegradesmaven.blogspot.com/2014/11/making-inferences.html
November 06, 2014. Sorry that I've been MIA since August. I've been going through a rough patch in my personal life, but it's been getting better. So, I'M BACK! I wanted to blog on the reading skill I've been teaching this week! It's such an important skill for students to grasp, and it's realllllly important for students to use evidence (quotes) from the text to support their answers. I MAY or may not have used this for my recent observation. ). CCSSELA-LITERACY.RL.5.1. For watching a video with your st...

November 30, 2013. Figurative Language Interactive Notebook. I just finished my Figurative Language Interactive Notebook. Before TpT's huge Cyber Monday and Tuesday Sale!

Middle Grades Maven: Classroom Reveal
http://middlegradesmaven.blogspot.com/2013/08/classroom-reveal.html
August 14, 2013. Update (7/26/16): I have also added some new emoji products to my TpT store to go with the tech. theme! I am finally done organizing my classroom! I loved the border with the clothespins from last year (I had it on a strip above my students' computers), so I decided to hang it in my section of the hallway this year. It makes putting up and taking down student work so much easier! I colored the clothespins with permanent marker and hot glued them to the thumbtacks. To create my sign.
