Me: wait! You voted for pizza?! I voted for tacos! does that mean we can’t be friends because you didn’t vote for what I voted for?

Class: NO!

Me: our differences are what makes our class so special! We can disagree, but above all else we MUST BE KIND TO EVERYONE!

Ordering flash cards by their answers smallest to largest uses quick mental math in a fun, competitive way! So much math is done in so little time and students don’t even realize it!

Finding routines in the classroom to help with math practices is crucial. These can help students talk about and discover the many different strategies for math. ✏️

Get them discussing and discovering!

“Math anxiety is something that directly affects students well into adulthood.”

We must try and change student’s views on math and help any form of math anxiety! Let’s break the cycle 🔄🚫

A7: not stress about my homework/classes for a day. Have a "ME" day. Relax, watch movies, make desserts, nap, spa day at home if possible. Half way through the semester, on top of everything else, we all deserve that! #tlap

@mack_fisette It is so hard with a professional wardrobe and an every day wardrobe! I struggle with that, although I try!

[Ms. Peyton @misspeyton__]

A6: CLOSET, 100%. Not dirty I just need to go through clothes! Pantry would me next on my list to find all the old or expired food and clean it out!! #tlap

[Ms. Peyton @misspeyton__]

A5: I need to be better about checking in with people! I can make it a goal to call or text 1 person everyday to see how they are doing and catch them up on my life and this school excitement! #tlap

[Ms. Peyton @misspeyton__]

A3: I rely on my family. I call them when I am too "in my own head" and can let it all out to them with someone listening. I think starting a journal would be a great idea for that! #tlap

[Ms. Peyton @misspeyton__]

Q2: A2 - I think it is important to step back and take in your feelings. Talk with others and see how everyone is doing. See if others are doing things that would make you feel more at ease. Take time. Relax. #tlap

[Ms. Peyton @misspeyton__]

Q1: A1 - after moving day after day its so hard to just sit. But I am cleaning, reorganizing, moving furniture. It can be a lot of work! #tlap
