Boy has it been a hectic few weeks! I have been so preoccupied that I have neglected my poor little blog.
So, I have this young man in my class. Let's call him T. He comes to school hyper and angry {quite a toxic mix}. He has been my challenge all school year. Mom's phone numbers do not work and his siblings are just as challenging. I was seriously ready to bang my head against the wall. I had no idea what to do to get T to stop being so angry so he can focus on learning. {It is no surprise that he is severely below grade level.}
I am sharing all that with you because T has made some major improvements in his behavior over the last week! He is doing his work without redirection and smiles at appropriate situations! {He used to smile when he or another student would get in trouble.} I am celebrating a small victory. I just hope he keeps making progress!
**Update - My Grinch unit was deactivated due to copyright issues. Sad face!!! But the freebie is still available!! {For now...}
Subject change: My Grinch unit is done! I am so happy with this pack.
The title page could be a little more creative but I seem to be lacking creativity lately. This pack is full of literacy activities including alphabetical order, thinking maps, writing prompts, and craftivities. You can get your copy here! ...and because I love all of you who visit my blog - you can download the alphabetical order portion for free here!
Subject change again: My math grant materials FINALLY arrived! You can imagine how excited I was when I had these boxes waiting for me in the office!
I ripped into those boxes like a child on Christmas morning. Check out my goodies! I was awarded $380 to spend on math materials. I can't wait to share these with my students!
That is all I have for right now. I am going to make an effort to post more often! Before I go, check out Teacher Blogger Exchange. They are having constant giveaways. I am participating in their giveaway. My guest post will appear on December 17th. Stop by to check out my giveaway - trust me, all teacher's would want it!
Happy Holidays!
Look at all those wonderful math goodies for your students! How fun!!! :)
