I have really enjoyed the activities and resources that have been provided during the trainings. It is nice to see other 4th grade teachers and to hear what has worked or not worked for them.
I love this site and will be using it weekly.
My students have benefited from all of the resources I have brought back to use in the classroom. The literature was also very helpful. I appreciate all of the hard work that was put into these training sessions.
The math workshops have been enlightening and empowering in teaching math this year. My kids have experienced many life-long discoveries!
The grade level meetings this year with Krista and Tina have been INVALUABLE to me and my students this year! These ladies have each provided many many beneficial ideas to use in the classroom.
My students have been so excited for me to come back each time I attended on of these meetings with some new "ideas" to show them. What a true learning experience this has been.
I have incorporated all of the materials that were given to us to use in many different ways. The hands-on materials are GREAT!! (I also appreciate the many hours that have gone into making ALL of the many manipulatives that we've been given!!!) What a joy to be able to take these manipulatives back to the classroom and use the next day!!
Thank you for providing these math trainings! I hope that this will be funded for next year so that we can continue learning different "strategies" to use in our classroom and build on what we've already learned this year.
Thanks for including us in the common assessment development and review. It is nice to know our input is valued. Also, the blog is amazing - great resources. Finally, the hands on math ideas are so easily incorporated into math instruction. Very few frills that take forever to put together, But, totally meaningful.
