NCTM…you did not disappoint! This past week was a great blessing. Thank you volunteers, speakers and participants for your work to support and strengthen math education. Sorry @pgliljedahl for confusing you with KY shark attack data. Here are just a few highlights….
There really isn’t an excuse for not doing what’s best for kids. A school with a positive culture faces the problem and then asks, “Now what?”
🔸A student is chronically absent?
Now what?
🔹A student isn’t achieving?
Now what?
🔸A student is dysregulated?
Now what?
🔹A student seeks negative attention? Now what?
Culture is continuing the conversation rather than letting the excuse be the reason to end it.

I had a student who accidentally spilled food from his thermos all over the floor in my classroom. I immediately went to grab paper towels and cleaning supplies. The student said, “Oh but Ms. K you should call the custodian. That’s not our job.” I stopped for a moment and smiled. I said to him, “When you are part of a school community it’s everyone’s job to help out when needed. We can all lend a helping hand and we should.” He got up and grabbed some paper towels and began to help me with the clean up. It was absolutely awesome! #StarfishClub #X
‘‘Twas the weekend before PD and all through the school….coaches and teachers were stirring!” The narrative of this year is in our hands. How students and families feel about mathematics depends on how we engage with them. Let’s do this, 23-24, Allen County Schools!
👥 Students who have #IEPs are not "special education students." They are simply students. They belong to every educator they have. Receiving a service shouldn't impose an identity. #LeadInclusion#EdLeaders#Teachers#UDL
Ready for my second round of PBL 101 next week and to learn ways to better my instruction in the classroom for students to succeed in all aspects. @JenTatumSTEM@DrCraftNBCT
Today was a great day in @AllenCoSchools! We were blessed to work with @smventura! Our team is LEAD LEARNERS, always working to learn more, to be better, to serve others. They make me proud every day!

You don't always need to "borrow" or regroup when subtracting mixed numbers. You can add or subtract the same number from both numbers so you're subtracting a whole number to make it easier.
