Another good week! There are still so many holes in my student’s education that I’m having to spend A LOT of time on remedial math 🙁 Monday was more or less another housekeeping day.  We went over homework, passed out papers, etc.  The students are doing really good about watching their videos lately as they’ve…

Another fun week! Monday we had another “house cleaning” day.  We went over the CBA from Thursday, did new vocabulary cards, and worked on FastMath (a program that helps students memorize their multiplication facts). Tuesday I was out at ANOTHER training, but the students didn’t miss a beat.  They watched a lesson I had recorded,…

This week was interesting…. We did a really neat lesson with cheese balls.  I bought three HUGE containers of cheese balls (one for each class), and we split the cheese balls up between the students.  They then had to count their cheese balls and identify wether or not their amount was prime or composite.  If…

This week was awesome!!  On Monday we completed the prime/composite project we had begun from the week before. Then I had forgotten that I had to be out of town for two different trainings on Wednesday and Thursday, so I left a pre-recorded lesson with my sub, so it was like I wasn’t even absent!…

I’ve officially made it through Six Weeks of Flipping!  Woo Hoo! Monday Today we took our state’s MSTAR test to test algebra readiness.  We’ll take it again in May, but we took the test and I had all the students input their answers into their project share accounts. Tuesday Today we practiced patterning.  I showed…

This week was a little frustrating… Monday So I got this idea from another teacher in my district to have the students work in groups to create their own board games.  They would write about 20 questions per group for their games.  But me, being the technology minded person I am, had another idea!  I…

Another amazing week of Flipped Class….here goes the run down! Monday I called this day our “House Cleaning” day.  The kids answered a poll on Edmodo about what they thought about me including my face in the Flipped Class videos.  It was pretty evenly split which I found interesting.  The kids who liked it said…

Another amazing week of Flipped Class.  I really am having the time of my life. Monday Monday was our “Housekeeping” day.  The students filled out their weekly “Flipped Class Survey” (http://goo.gl/TEcDo) and also answered a Poll on Edmodo about whether or not they liked taking their CBA online (only 1 student out of 75 did…

I can’t express enough how much I am enjoying this “new” model of teaching.  I am getting to do things with my students that I have only dreamed of doing before, but never had the time! The Videos   I finally got some survey results back from my kiddos and you can see them here http://goo.gl/68YVJ…

Well we finished out our first week of flipping in my 5th grade classroom.  This is my first year ever attempting flipping, so I’m definitely learning things as I go along. The week started out with about 15% of my students not watching their videos at home.  As the week went that number decreased so…
