Pi Day and Numbers Alive!

Thanks to Tryazon I had the opportunity to use NumbersAlive Pi Plush during my Robotics Club's Pi Day celebration.

These products are super cool, and really bring math to life.  I LOVED the tape measure that works like a tape measure on one side and shows the digits of Pi on the other.

Melrose Rocks Continued

Image
For Teacher Appreciation Week one of my students gave the most amazing gift, a decorated rock. He was a little upset, since it got a little banged up on the way to school, so he told me he'd make me another.  This rock changed me. It was the inspiration I needed to be the change. In our area there is a lot of hiding rocks for people to find.  It's a random act of kindness, spread the joy, heart lifting type of movement.  There are groups for different areas sharing the rocks they have hidden or found.  I knew that one of the schools in our district had a big event creating and hiding rocks in Palatka and I just thought the concept was so stinking cool. So my classes decorated rocks.  Well they decorated rocks based on things they learned in science class this year.  Then they had to describe what the rock was, why they created it, and provide another detail about that topic.  We posted this to our Seesaw accounts.  This allowed student...

Sideways Stories from Wayside School

 Around Christmas time I was searching for Christmas gifts and I was surprised to see that Louis Sachar had released another book in the Wayside School series. I bought it for my son Sagan as a gift and was very excited to give it to him for Christmas. He wasn't really interested. Seriously??? Guh... To be fair despite the fact the he is an excellent reader, he prefers graphic novels. So on to Plan B. I started reading it out loud. Ha.,.he fell for it, and was HOOKED! His little brother even came in to listen to the stories. And that's how we got started on the Wayside School Beneath the Cloud of Doom. After we finished, I downloaded Sideways Stories onto my Kindle. We started reading that one together. It was amazing how much joy it brought me to share these silly stories with my kids. And somehow out of depths of memories I thought were long gone, I pulled out the " I got one sock! Lookin' for the other One sock! Lookin' for its brother. When I find that sock I...

Edcamp Putnam...Melrose 2018 :)

My first Edcamp was Edcamp St. Augustine in the spring of 2016, can I say life changing event.  That day was magical for me, completely transformed my conceptions of other educators, learning, sharing, and what I could do.  It blew me away.  The whole ride back I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.  I had never experience professional development like that before.  I had never walked away with such a vast amount of knowledge.  And up until that point I didn't really know what I was missing.  I had a taste of awesomeness and I needed more. After that day I knew I needed to share that magical feeling with others, and bring back that magic I felt to my school.  Well today it happend Edcamp Putnam, Melrose style.  It was our third Edcamp Putnam, but this year it was in my house, my home.  And perhaps I might be a little bias, but BEST EDCAMP PUTNAM, yet. Our first year we had 12 people attend, and most of those were ones we had convince...
