Monday, Monday

When the weekend is filled with events, it's a bit tougher to rev up that teaching/learning engine. Yet, a good focus, helps to increase energy. Today is a day focused closely on students' individual and small group learning--a day that includes a couple of parent conferences, lots of math coaching and support, reading with a small group, readying the classroom for a substitute teacher tomorrow, and attending a professional event. It will be a long day from about 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The primary focus is to help every child gain greater confidence and proficiency with fraction skill, concept, and knowledge as they ready for the week's fraction assessment.
