New Record of 577 digits of Pi!! Amazing and so proud of these kids during all of our pi day activities. They went all out this year! #piDay2023 #middleschoolmath

Ss struggled to see sides and angles to determine which theorem to use. I had a fancy lesson planned and we went back to basics with highlighters and it was way more effective. Visually it helped with the congruence statements and order. #keepitsimple #middleschoolmath #geometry

Tearing up at open house! Tears of joy/ amazement as 2nd graders shared excitement for learning. It’s mid Sept. and I can’t wait to see the rest of the year take shape! The room was packed with families- this is a dream and absolutely the goal of education! @delatorretcs 💜

Can we skip the test if the whole class correctly shows their work multiplying polynomials together today? These 7th graders are working hard in Algebra and will do anything to use whiteboards and dry erase markers!#tcsms #whiteboards #middleschoolalgebra

Start of week 5- notes and practice are taking shape! I’ve even learned to love the constant clicking of the multicolor pen!! The importance of color for them to watch the math take shape and to decide how they learn best! #tcsms #middleschoolgebra #itsnotharditsnew #practice

Pair up and have a conversation, try to get your partner to say the words on the board for point values. They get so excited for this and it’s so simple! And I now have a pretty good idea of their understanding. #tcsmsmath #mathematiciansatwork #algebra1

Today we began the very important conversation on how to keep our notes and practice organized to help us study. It always amazes me that middle schoolers can shove papers in their backpacks and then wonder what happened to them!! #middleschoolmindset #setupforsuccess #tcsms

Our curriculum and standards changed, starting with functions is amazing! Today a S says, “So I use this function, plug in x’s, get y’s. I make a table or write as points and then I can graph those points. It’s quadratic b/c x^2, this is so easy!” #middleschoolalgerba #tcsmsmath

Day 4 - the Ss are taking over! Up at the board teaching classmates about function notation, input and output values and how we find a point to graph on the coordinate plane. The beginnings of an awesome year ahead! #tcsms #middleschoolalgebra #tscmsmath #studentteachers

Love first day of school puzzles and teamwork! Listening for leaders, vocabulary, struggles, determination and the lightbulb moments! 2 teams conquered the domino effect on Day 1! Thank you @mathequalslove for the awesome puzzles in my classroom!

Always thankful for the student that unmutes their mic, has the guts to tell the whole virtual class they got the wrong answer, wants me to explain it again. One student did today and then 5 more were willing to unmute and start asking questions! #gettingthere #mathisanexhange

Big day for the Reeceman!!
The man did something today that I’ve never done on the course. He knocked it in from 147 (with a 3 wood) for a 2 on a par 5!! Also took home first place! What a day! @uskidsgolf #albatross

I worried virtual would keep Ss from asking ?s and making mistakes that we can all learn from. BUT, today it happened! There were ?s and lots of- why cant we do it like this, or what if the degree is the same for the terms. We used all method and they were excited!!! #winning

Today was hard, but there was still a lot of good! Today my good thing, is 13 good things! These 13 kids work really hard all day, make me laugh, and remind me every 30 mins we need to wash and sanitize our hands! (They also still try to fly paper airplanes and tell weird jokes!)
