Getting Set Up for Next Year

NEW SCHOOL YEAR/ NEW SCHOOL BLOG
I've been trying my best to relax this August... it's harder than it sounds, you know! Tomorrow I'll be going up to P ms to meet with the math team and Principal. We're in the running for a grant from the state. I'll also take a look at my room ...ah, the memories from last year... anyway..
Our WASL scores did not improve as planned so I'll be working hard again this year to help my students strengthen their basic number sense skills. First Areas of Concentration: memorizing the times tables; memorizing commom fraction, decimal, & percent conversions; long division; learning the characteristics of a Math Journal (do's and dont's); and learning my Special Painless Method of how to "re-do" work that is not up to standard. These units will be done before we tackle 7th Grade CMP.
