New Year, New 'Tude

Today was it- the first of many days I will be working in my classroom for the 2014-2015 SY.  It's always bittersweet working in my class to prep before school starts.  It's a battle between wanting to spend time outside relishing in my summer freedom -VS- getting a head start to maximize the time I can reflectively work in my room without being pressured.  Today the room won.  I really want to dedicate this year to devoting time to documenting my practice and self-reflection.  It begins today.

Math leads to COOKIESSSS

That's right, everyone; math leads to cookies.  My class will be participating in a measurement activity tomorrow at school.  Our problem is that we do not have an oven to use to finish our recipe.  Therefore, I came up with the solution to mix the ingredients at school, but pre-make them at home first.  But there's an added twist.... video lesson!  I foresee many people needing additional help with parts of the lesson, so what better way to help myself than by making 2 of me.  I mean, teachers are always asking for more hands in the room- creating a video lesson will make 2 of you.

So excited about teaching this tomorrow :)  Perfect way to start off the week!
