WHERE DO YOU GO TO FIND A SUBSTITUTE!  AESOP.

We all know that TEACHERS would rather come to work than miss a day of school but sometimes you have to be absent. Please do not wait until the last minute to learn how to use this new system.  Please talk to Ms. Yap if you do not understand the new system.  She will walk you through the steps.  Also, make sure you have the guide sheet at home with you!

*** Remember if you are going to be absent for more than two days in a row please check with Mrs. Choplin prior to asking someone to substitute for you. This includes all classified and certified employees.

______________________________________________

When texting Mrs. Choplin or Mrs. Stewart please include your name in the message.  THX!

Math Talk 101. I’ve learned Math Talk is simply a way for students to have meaningful student-to-student conversations about math while learning to respect and understand there is more than one way to correctly approach and solve a problem. This week I'd like to share with you how I've gotten a start in Math Talk, as well as what I've learned along the way!

Each kiddo has a sheet that looks like the one pictured above in a binder that also contains five plastic dividers (since I have five classes). During those first few days of school, you have your kids fill our their designated sheet with their name and hour. Then, you place their sheet behind their designated hour's folder. Each time that particular kiddo forgets their homework assignment, they are to go to the binder and fill our the date, name of the assignment, and the reason they forget their homework (or didn't complete it). The teacher can then assign a lunch detention, and keep track of how many times that student isn't completing or turning in an assignment. 

The best part? It's in the student's own handwriting-and allows the kids to THINK about why they didn't finish their homework! What GREAT documentation! So far it has been very successful too. :)
