Need to change a lesson day on your planner?

If you need to change a lesson day on your planner:

You have four options in the drop down "cog" in the upper right hand corner of the date on the planner.  

Extend Lesson - this will move ALL following lessons forward

Change to Non-Teaching Day - this will move ALL following lessons forward

Move lesson forward - this will STACK multiple lessons on the next day

Move lesson backward - this will STACK multiple lessons on the previous day

Four Strikes and You're Out!

Fantastic game to play at any grade level to encourage communication, number sense, critical thinking, and interest.

Thanks, again, to Marilyn Burns.

EM 4 Technology Notes

Need an engaging math activity for the first few days of school?

This will get students engaged and thinking mathematically in your classroom.  It is a great set up for group work that encourages asking questions, finding ways to represent thinking, and is accessible to all. What a great way to start the year!

The 1-10 Card Investigation

We are always on show . . .

“The questions we ask in class teach students how to ask questions. How we pursue dialogue models reflectiveness. Students watch who we call on, or don’t, and learn about fairness. We teach them when and how to interrupt by when and how we interrupt. We teach them how to listen by how carefully we listen. If they see us admitting that we don’t know something, we encourage intellectual honesty as well as humility. We are always modeling. And students are always watching.”
