Math Reference Journals in action! This summer I created anchor charts for each iReady lesson as part of my summer class. I love how they reinforce student learning and can serve as a quick reference!

What a blast! Thanks for visiting, @Ravens!!

Working on my favorite summer course that allows teachers to work on projects of their choosing! I’m spending my time working on creating anchor charts for each iready lesson! Lesson 3 needed THREE charts 🫣

[Mary Boyd @MaryBoydFCPS]

Third grade classes paired up for the last day to perform reader’s theaters!

Another lesson, another reference chart!

[Mary Boyd @MaryBoydFCPS]

One thing I wish I could change about iReady is that it is not easy for students to reference the most important concepts they are learning in a lesson- they’re hidden throughout. So this week we created an anchor chart to use as a reference for this lesson!

I never get to see myself teaching “in action” grateful for awesome parents who captured photos yesterday!

One of the best parts of Myersville’s annual trout release is the retired staff who come back every year to help make the day a success! @FCPSMaryland

[Mary Boyd @MaryBoydFCPS]

The best day of the year! Trout release!

What a great afternoon! So glad I got to view the eclipse with my kiddos!

@mrscookFCPS I LOVE the student accountability piece of this? Would you be willing to share?

[Mary Boyd @MaryBoydFCPS]

Happy Maryland Day! I had every intention of getting photos of everyone in their Maryland-related attire and of all the fun Maryland activities today but this is all I got! In math we took a virtual road trip to review 3rd grade standards 😊

Special warm up for today! A comment from a third grader: “I’ve had as many birthdays as he has!”

[Mary Boyd @MaryBoydFCPS]

Love these powerful conversations while exploring new manipulatives!

I’m so grateful for my sweet mama who spent 20 years at Myersville and now comes to volunteer in my classroom!! 💕

My absolute favorite part of using a This or That playlist in Math is the time that it gives me to meet with all my groups in one day! The opportunity to gain a true “pulse” of my student’s understanding is invaluable!

[Mary Boyd @MaryBoydFCPS]

Absolute favorite quick and easy way to incorporate retrieval practice! Today we dumped everything we know about multiplication and division to help us make sense of word problems.

[Mary Boyd @MaryBoydFCPS]

@EHainesFCPS Yay Kristin!!

[Mary Boyd @MaryBoydFCPS]

The best place to get a “Loud Environment” notification! I look forward to the annual @myesfcps Holiday Sing Along all year long! Thank you @AFishelMusic!!
