Guided Math – Chapter 9
Guided MathChapter 9 - Putting it Into PracticeHosted by Second Grade Math Maniac and The Creative AppleI thought this would be one final, "A-ha" chapter, but I will admit I was let down. Was it just because I was tired, or did you feel that way, too? My hope was that I would find a chapter that really painted a picture of a day in the life of Guided Math. I wanted to read about how all the pieces connected during one math block (warm-up, mini-lesson, small group lessons, math workshop tasks, conferences, ... read more

What I’m Working On
It's Wednesday and here's what I have been working on: First, I'm looking into doing a Star of the Week board. I want to feature one student each week. I'm thinking the student could bring in photos to put on the board along with filling out some kind of All About Me sheet. So, how many of you do some version of Star of the Week? If you have posted a photo on your blog or pinned something on Pinterest, send me a link because I want to check it out! Even if you don't have a photo I would still like to hear about how you incorporate this ... read more

CAFE Headers & Guided Math – Chapter 7
Thanks to my trusty Cricut machine, I completed my new CAFE header cards.

Now, onto Math :)Guided MathChapter 7 - Conferring with Students During Guided MathThis chapter is being hosted by Mrs. Patton's Patch and Thinking of Teaching.I continue to run scenarios in my head of how all the pieces of guided math will fall into place with our current ... read more
Monday Made It – Welcome Sign
I finished another project and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I wanted to make a new welcome sign for my classroom. Here is what I came up with:This project was made using my Cricut, scrapbook paper, and glue stick. Each circle has a diameter of about 4.5 in. I plan to place them in an arch on my classroom door. Since my theme will be stars, I will place each child's name on a star on the door. I need a catchy phrase, though. My last name starts with B. Perhaps Mrs. B____'s ... read more
