This year I made the choice to teach without my mask for the first time in over a year. However, I pulled it back out this week because the flu that’s going around is no joke! 🙈 how are you all doing? Hope everyone is staying safe, healthy and rested during our fall week off! 🎉💕 #teacherlife #iteachtoo #teachersofinstagram

Happy Election Day! I’ve been meaning to poll my students on their favorite Jolly Rancher flavors for an idea I had and today felt like the perfect day to do it! Any guesses which one received the least and most votes? 😂 #electionday #teacherlife #mathteacher

I first used @ixl when I taught third grade summer

I first used @ixl when I taught third grade summer school two summers ago and I was IMMEDIATELY hooked. I love love love everything about IXL! #ad

Since then, I’ve used both the school account (with students) and the family account (with students I tutored over the summer). There are so many things I love about IXL but my favorite part is the Diagnostic tool. It allows me to quickly assess what topics my students still need support on and also provides them with recommended practice based on their results. In class, I use IXL both as practice on current content but also as extension in class. Part of our class routine when students finish early is for them to work on their diagnostic/recommended skills. I love that IXL allows students to work at their own individual pace on topics that are unique to them.

Have you used #IXL in your classroom before? Let me know! #mathteacher #iteachmath

This song is literally what my internal monologue

This song is literally what my internal monologue sounds like 24/7 😂 November brought with it, the end of a GIGANTIC project my coding students worked on for months, the completion of our FIRST speech and debate tournament, the start of my FAVORITE math unit ever, a week off for Thanksgiving and my 30th birthday! What are some things you’re looking forward to this month? 💕 #mathteacher #classroomorganization #iteachtoo

✨THIS IS 30 ✨ Appropriately celebrated today with my first red cup and a bottle of @tylenol 😂 Feeling so thankful today for my community. To Fred for giving me the morning off dog duty, to my students for their sweet messages, to my neighbor teacher for her classroom surprise, to my family, friends and to everyone here! Thank you for loving on me and letting me share a part of my life with all of you! Here’s to a new decade and my first photo post in a long long while 🎉 #teachersofinstagram #mathteacher

The excitement of this one moment will forever be a core memory for me 😂 When I asked my students if they wanted another problem after I showed it to them.. it was a resounding “YES!” 😂😍💕💕 #teachersofinstagram #mathteacher #mathisfun

👋🏼 October has been nonstop and now that is almost over I finally have time to catch a breath and post my calendar change from the beginning of this month 🙈😂

This month, my computer science students are wrapping up their Congressional App Challenge projects. We’ve been working on their projects for the last two months and it’s been so fun watching their creativity come to life. This week, they’re working on their video submissions highlighting their app and officially submitting their final products! 🎉 In my Math 7 class, students are wrapping up rational number operations and heading into proportional relationships. In Math 7 honors, we’re working through linear equations and about to jump into my favorite unit ever.. EQUATIONS! 😍

October also marks our FIRST tournament for my school’s speech and debate team that I coach! Last year, when I told Fred I was thinking of co-coaching the team he immediately asked, “Why? You teach math and coding.” And honestly I was feeling the same way 😂 However, coming back this year to coach our team in person has seriously left me with such a high every week post meeting. I love that it provides a space for students to practice using their voice and take a small safe step out of their comfort zone 💕

What are some things you all have been up to this month? Let me know 🤗 #teachersofinstagram #iteachmath

I’ve used Amazon Future Engineer’s curriculum

I’ve used Amazon Future Engineer’s curriculum for my APCSP course the last year and I am obsessed with EVERYTHING they put out! They recently created FREE tours of the Amazon Robotic Fullfillment center and I can’t wait to attend it with my students! I love that there is also a Kahoot option so that I can attend the trip with all of my classes! What is your favorite way of bringing a computer science into your classroom? #ad #AmazonFutureEngineer
