Holiday break is winding to an end. I really don't want to head to bed, because that means that it is over. PD day tomorrow, then back to the normal routine.
I'm rolling out a refined math system for the new year. I've been experimenting with self-paced math, but have about half of each block of kids that aren't growing and thriving with keeping up and learning. I'm starting some guided math philosophy with those kids, while trying to keep the rest of the kids self-paced. In short making my life difficult while trying to make sure that everyone is learning. I didn't record a single math video this break, so I"m starting the new year behind, and will have to record several this weekend. Oh the fun of an experimenting teacher.
I have to thank Farley for the Currently's. I very much enjoy blog hopping and reading the Currently's that are out and about. Check out the trend at: http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.com/2012/12/currently-january.html

I am so glad I found you! This self paced math and guided math at the same time sounds like something I would do.
