I'm linking up with Farley. For the July Currently, but will also try to do some more posts this month and get back into the blogging world! I'm up this morning working on some homework and my husband is digging up the pump to the bubbler in our backyard. Little one (not so little anymore… she just turned 11! Just a day t...

Navigating through the world of Common Core, 21st century relevancy, and middle school hormones! Saturday, September 14, 2013. Where has time gone? It seems like I was just enjoying my summer and now I'm deeply entrenched into school, curriculum planning, and evening activities with my kids. Summer went by too quickly! I have so much to update, but thought I'd start with the late September Currently (go to Farley's. Page to see ALL of them). Will the laundry ever get done? I don't know about you, but I e...

Navigating through the world of Common Core, 21st century relevancy, and middle school hormones! Thursday, July 31, 2014. Thinking about the First Day of School…. I can't believe that tomorrow is August! I've already been in my classroom for about 9 hours, prepping for the year. However, I'm pretty excited because I've got a great team of math teachers who are all on board for new and exciting changes. Who had already created a blank template! So basically, my day might look like this:. Introduce Number ...

http://mission-math.blogspot.com/2014/08/standards-quiz-data-tracking.html
Navigating through the world of Common Core, 21st century relevancy, and middle school hormones! Monday, August 4, 2014. Standards Quiz and Data Tracking. This year we are going to implement Standards Quizzes in Algebra 1. I got this idea from reading Dan Meyer's blog. And just loved it! In our class, getting "M" (for Dan Meyer's, this is a "4") twice - then they never have to take that concept again! What if they don't attain mastery on the quizzes? PR1 = Prerequisite #1 - something we wanted to see tha...

Navigating through the world of Common Core, 21st century relevancy, and middle school hormones! Monday, June 2, 2014. Oh man… it's June! More to come on how quickly that happened, but for now, I'm linking up with Farley. For the June Currently. I love spring. I love to hear the birds in the morning that let me know that the school year is soon coming to an end. I especially love it because it means that I get some quiet time for breakfast and then play time with the kiddos. Did I say 2 days? This will b...

Navigating through the world of Common Core, 21st century relevancy, and middle school hormones! Monday, August 19, 2013. Gearing Up for the Start! Post #2 (Classroom Decorations). So far this year, I've created two bulletin boards that I'm in love with:. I guess you could call this my "standards" board. I probably should have put butcher paper in the background, but that's a project for another day :). I absolutely LOVE my next board. A big shout out to Ana Haywood. I have a ton of other posters up, but...
