Spent my July with family and attending professional developments (AVID & AP Calculus Summer Institute) - some of my favorite ways to spend my time!

@MsHereth I know I’ve given something like that before but I would have to check to see if I have a digital file of it! I know I googled “math inventory” previously for it.

Well, it's been a while since I was active and lots of changes - I now have NBCT & mother as titles 💜

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

@JaclynT10 Can you explain this more please? Are there openings only in the school year or summer too?

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

One of my favorite teaching days in AP Calculus - Chain Rule day where we use blow pops and Shrek’s “Ogres are like onions” clip as an analogy to chain rule and its steps! Best Friday in a while! #iteachmath #teach180 #MtBoS #EasternNC #APCalculus

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

@BurnsideMath @EulersNephew @mrsvibbermath @adottree I do the Shrek clip and then have them try to figure out the rule on their own!

For today only, there's a 2x match on my #DonorsChoose project for school supplies to give students who didn't bring them & cleaning products to keep my students safe! I'm down to $112 to fund - any support is greatly appreciated! https://t.co/ij2itK0NWd #EasternNC #iTeachMath

So excited to become the volunteer caretaker of this Little Free Library location and give back to my community in this unique way! I’ve already added books once so far and it makes my heart so happy seeing books be taken! #ReadENC1 #LittleFreeLibrary #LFL #EasternNC #BookLover

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

@pamjwilson @abel_jennifer I know this is way later, but if you're able to still provide feedback I would greatly appreciate it! No worries if not since I know it's a quick turnaround!

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

Would anyone who is a #NBCT (math specifically) be willing to provide feedback on my components? I have two NBCTs giving feedback but neither are math so I would love to have someone from the math world read my components if possible. #NationalBoards #MtBoS #AYAMath #iTeachMath

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

I'm finally done with Component 4 (all parts & forms)! Can any #NBCTs provide feedback on my written commentary? Someone not in math would actually be good! I'm shooting for that 4 so I'm trying to make sure it's as close to perfect as it can be! #NationalBoards #AYAMath #mtbos

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

....and I'm almost completely done Component 2 and I've already transcribed both Component 3 videos and identified all the various instructional strategies I used so hopefully the commentary goes quick! #GettingThere #NationalBoards #AYAMath

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

Honestly felt truly appreciated during Teacher Appreciation Week this year thanks to my husband, students, admin team, and even other colleagues. And that's a great feeling! #TeacherLife #iTeachMath

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

@msalearns I tried that but because it’s math over half of it was wrong so it’s just easier to type it out! I also tried to do the Google docs trick with no luck so now I am doing it the way I probably should’ve done the first time and just type and pause the video as needed. Thanks though!

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

Can I just say that transcribing videos is very difficult? Especially since I don't know how to properly type. I've been avoiding transcribing my Component 3 videos because I know it's going to take forever but I have got to start working more on it! #NationalBoards #iTeachMath

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

My project to help me pay for National Boards got funded! I truly believe it was because of the new match I got yesterday - so appreciative right now because of the huge impact Donors Choose has had on my classroom!! Thank you to anyone who supports Donors Choose. #DonorsChoose

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

Thanks to a 2x match, I am down to $97 to fund my project to help me pay for National Boards! I am learning so much through this process and know my students will benefit from me becoming a #NBCT! https://t.co/S5EM5wUxda #STEM #DonorsChoose

[Sarah Donaldson @MrsMDLovesMath]

@pamjwilson @abel_jennifer That would be great! I would love to take you up on that offer once I finish editing from the feedback I received over the weekend. The plan is to finish all components by June so I will have Component 2 and 3 done soon too.
