Really where does the time go? I might be sad how time flies by. I promise I will catch up on the blog in the next weeks with the bazillion fun things we did to end the year BUT there is something even more important...
We were invited to be part of a series of videos to showcase the progression of mathematical reasoning from Kindergarten to high school. YES our firsties! The lesson showcases our daily math routine and a situational story concerning leprechaun traps-our March family project. THEY (I do mean the kids) were AMAZING!! Wait the video hit the Teaching Channel website today. Here it is...
I am so proud of these kids! I am honored to be a part of this AFT and Teaching Channel endeavor. I tell my firsties when we have visitors we are changing math for their students. "Just think if we have 20 teachers and they have 20 students we have changed math for 400 kids." How many kids are we changing math for this coming year? WOW...Just watch out these kids are going to change the world. Remember my like chickens...I just love you! I am so proud of you and can't wait to see you walking the halls to 2nd grade knowing you are mathematicians. Thank you for letting me be part of your life and oh thank your parents too.

I love your video! I am a teacher in California and I train other teachers re: implementation of the Common Core. You are obviously a gifted teacher! And what a nice blog you have! I couldn't believe you didn't have more comments from families here - I hope they appreciate the effort you put into communicating with them :)
I just watched your video on Teaching Channel and you've inspired me to become a better Math teacher. I also teach first grade and we use Math Expressions which is not aligned to Common Core. I feel like I'm struggling and I really want my students more hands on for math. Can you point me in a new direction to make math more fun instead of paper and pencil all the time? Thanks so much!
We've been teaching math conceptually at Chets Creek Elementary in Jacksonville, FL for over a decade. We continue to learn and grow year after year, and were thrilled to find your video on cpalms. We plan to tweak some of our math routines and implement ideas we gained from you. We really want to implement the missing addend dot cards. Any idea if we can order them from a supplier? I'd love to order rather than make them. I can be reached at shalls@duvalschools.org. Thanks! Suzanne Shall
