@lffisher2424 No ma’am! We just read it for fun while they worked. Email me [email protected] anytime!

Today we read this book, created name tents, and went over classroom expectations and procedures!

[Mackenzie Burgess (Kerr) @MrsBurgessMath]

Today, we did @saravdwerf’s 100 #s activity. I took pictures and then we analyzed them discussed what good group work looks and sounds like. My goal is to speak less than 55% of class so they need practice on what the rest of that time should look like 👍🏼

My bag is packed, lunch is packed, dinner is planned, water bottle is filled, diaper bag is ready...

First day back to work tomorrow for the first time this year without my baby girl with me.

Ready to see my kids, but not ready to leave my own kid. The teacher mom struggle 😭

Built marshmallow catapults in science - it surprised me how much fun they had with them! “Hey, Mrs. Burgess, watch me!” Thanks Mrs. Vandivort for the extra rubber bands when I ran out! Merry Break to everyone! We made it! 👏🏼

I am loving the emails I’m getting from former students now that they all have chrome books this year!
Little things ⭐️

[Mackenzie Burgess (Kerr) @MrsBurgessMath]

Happy fall break!

[Mackenzie Burgess (Kerr) @MrsBurgessMath]

I polled my students & asked if they preferred everything on chrome books or if they wish it were back to paper/pencil.
A resounding YES they like everything being on their computers.

Their only issue was they don’t feel like they type fast enough.

So proud of them.

One of the best parts of Google Classroom: I’m missing less work than I ever have because students never lose their access.

[Mackenzie Burgess (Kerr) @MrsBurgessMath]

Another perk: When students say, “I turned that in to you.” But you can pull up on their screen where it says ‘missing’. Nice try, kiddo! This is 2020 though 💯

[Mackenzie Burgess (Kerr) @MrsBurgessMath]

💯 💯 💯

Shared the news with my students today... Baby Burgess coming February 2021! We’re almost halfway there 🥰
“Why did you wait so long to tell us?!?”
“Why are you not fat yet?”
“You’re not even that moody!”
🤣😅😆
