She is the sweetest bloggy friend ever! Our classes are Pen Pals. I have to confess I am doing a super bad job with the pen paling (that is a word, right?). It has been hard for me to be on time with our letters.
She checks out anything I send her and gives me great feedback. I feel loved by her. I feel her love every time we converse via email :)
She lives pretty much on the side of the country. NC and CA are not that close. Boo!
So, once, not so long ago, we exchanged a product we both needed. Score!
Let me show you...
Gotta love collecting data! I mean, we (as teachers) collect enough data. This time, the kids do all the work :)

My kids enjoyed the variety. I surely did!
You'll find all of these in her packet.
The best part was finding a variety of levels. I used every single one of her graphs.
I separated my class. My struggling ones sat at the rainbow table and did the graphs with me. I did a lot of reviewing and questioning. I also met with the intermediate kids. They solved their graphs with a partner at the rainbow table as well. My high kiddos had a ball working on collecting data (surveys). They did all of their work independently (music to my ears).
Graphing Through the Year was a huge success in my room. If you need a graph for your low, medium and high kiddos. This is it. I promise you, you will not be very pleased :) Find it HERE.
THANKS Jaime!
Now... who should I beg for a product next? :)
Love ya, girl! Thanks for the wonderful shout out! I am so glad your kids had fun with the activities. I have letters ready to send to you. I just need to get to the post office!!!

Hi Tania
ReplyDeleteI had a pen pal class years ago and loved it. We committed to sending things once a month and that was a lot. Life gets so busy. It's so fun and the kiddos love it though. I'm your newest follower.
