1st Mystery Skype!
I have been following all kinds of posts about Mystery Skypes for years. When I was a classroom teacher, I really wanted to do one, but I was never bold enough to pull the trigger because I had never seen it done. I’m all about jumping in the deep end and trying something new, but […] Continue reading
Bad Math Photos
I ran across a great blog post from Richard Byrne about using photos from the Bad Maths Flickr Group Page. The group defines itself as “a place to store all those images of crazy special offers and examples of things that just don’t add up. The aim is to be able to use these in […] Continue reading
Moon Phases, Oreos, and Animated GIFs
What do you get when you mix together the Phases of the Moon, Oreo Cookies, and Animated GIFs?? FUN! Today I was able to hang out with Mrs. Coor’s class at Echo Lake Elementary. Her class is learning about the Moon Phases. After teaching 3rd graders for 7 years, using Oreo Cookies to explain the phases of […] Continue reading
The Mysteries of Harris Burdick Intro
I loved using the images and pictures from the book The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg.

Snow Happy!
I’m no Pharrell Williams, but I figured Henrico County and Andy Jenks, Director of Communications and Public Relations, needed their own snow closing video–hopefully for tomorrow! Ha! Continue reading
Back, Back, Back it Up!
Henrico County is going through a new RFP (Request for Proposals) process right now. No, I do not know if we are going to keep Macs for next year. My fingers (and toes) are crossed in hopes that we do get to stay with Mac, but we’ll save that conversation for another day. These old MacBooks […] Continue reading
Kindergarteners wish George and Abe Happy Birthday!
This week at Echo Lake Elementary, I was able to see Mrs. Jackson’s and Mrs. Barradale’s classes. With Presidents’ Day coming up, we decided to make Pixie projects wishing George Washington and Abraham Lincoln Happy Birthday. Each partner had to come up with a gift to give George or Abe and explain why they were […] Continue reading
Kindergarten Number Sense Movies
As I like to do, I want to give a big THANK YOU to Mrs. Parsley at Carver Elementary today for letting me jump into her class and try a new App I have never tried with the students today! Mrs. Parsley has done this Number Walk Lesson before, but she wanted to add a […] Continue reading
Fractions and Ancient China Movie
I want to first start off by saying that working with amazing ITRTs like Julie Goode make my job so much more fun. If you aren’t following her blog, you should be. She comes up with some great ideas to use in the classroom, and I modified this lesson to use with with Ms. Catlin‘s […] Continue reading
