Name Change!

The name that I gave this blog just won't work anymore. This coming school year, I will be changing both grades and districts. I am looking forward to new challenges but it's going to be different. I spent the day planning the layout of my new classroom. My new school is 3 hours away and I won't be moving until late August so my visits will have to be very intentional and productive. My stuff is in scary piles on the desks in the new building but that won't last long. I'll be teaching math to all three groups of 5th graders, plus writing, art and word work to my homeroom kids. I am gathering ideas for this new grade on pinterest and elsewhere. I haven't used pinterest in a while for classrooms and it's a little frustrating to see so many links to worksheets and teacherspayteachers. What I REALLY want are high quality math activities, games and problems. Worsheets? Meh. I have about one month left before I have to be in the building for teacher trainings. In the meantime, I can enjoy summer and start turning my thoughts towards an exciting new year.
