I really like the way that you organized this, using a continuous document throughout the year. I believe that this would be very beneficial in allowing students to see how they progressed throughout the year; it is also a fantastic way for them to keep their letters organized. As you mentioned, this seems like a great way to document misconceptions that students have about various math concepts. I currently use Google Classroom, and I would definitely be interested about hearing how this has been working for you (especially this year) and possibly implementing it in my own classroom!<br />L.

I returned to teaching this year (after a 15 year hiatus and three daughters) and am in a seventh grade math classroom. I taught a little math before, but oh how things have changed! Needless to say, throwing my science brain back into a math classroom with a full mom/coaching schedule has been overwhelming, and I cannot count the times your blog/resources/interactive notebook pages/teaching strategies have bailed me out. Trying to grasp new content, new strategies, and new learning styles would have been 10,000 times more difficult without your professional input. My favorite part of teaching is collaborating with other awesome teachers and I'm so thankful for you. Just wanted wanted you to know! Cheers to a healthy 2017!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570036365118855631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393677513400791883.post-19501791330973836252016-04-03T14:07:44.761-05:002016-04-03T14:07:44.761-05:00Love those colorful To Do lists!Love those colorful To Do lists!ithappenedin3rdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464918618167254113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393677513400791883.post-28939860573767130612016-04-03T10:12:39.003-05:002016-04-03T10:12:39.003-05:00I love your notebook for a planner idea!

TOTALLY stealing that next year....THis year I have a planner that I never use and always just write down notes LOL!<br /><br />Middle school mathematicians are obsessed with anything that is on astrobrights. They will do the most boring assignment if it is on pink paper! LOL. <br /><br />Our fourth quarter begins the day we get back from spring break April 11. We have three weeks then we have our state testing, then just 5 short weeks left. This particular 4th quarter I am very happy to see come as I have had one of the worst years of my teaching! I will miss the kids though!<br /><br />Hope you have a great week,<br />Jameson!<br /><a href="http://lessonswithcoffee.com" rel="nofollow">Lessons With Coffee</a> Lessons With Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471004258721466399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393677513400791883.post-11114584038983795522016-04-02T11:36:29.080-05:002016-04-02T11:36:29.080-05:00Love some Astrobrights!

While they seem like simple goals to meet, sometimes they are the hardest. It is hard to make new goals for yourself every year,but I really like your word of "declutter." That is an important word to remember because an organized space makes for more creativity and learning experiences.

And, you're right, it's hard to let go of those tender younger days. And as a 4th grade teacher myself, you are also right about it being a transitional age for your son. <br /><br />Best of luck in achieving all of your personal and professional goals in 2016!<br /><br />Shane<br /><a href="http://mathisfundamental.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Math is Fundamental</a>Shane Pranskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841784678964728422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393677513400791883.post-69406422481400646612016-01-02T09:04:31.071-06:002016-01-02T09:04:31.071-06:00Declutter!
