This is one of the best resources I've purchased - i would want to give it 10 stars for content, ease of use & visuals!" "Holy cow, this is an exceptional resource. I am usually the toughest critic when it comes to TPT purchases since it's my personal money. But this resource is a stand out resource. Everything about it is phenomenal. The clipart, the layouts, the questions, all of it. I've been using them as warm ups with my fourth graders the last few weeks in place of our vocabulary. We've had some amazing conversations so far.

This past week in class we started my FAVORITE type of math to teach! ALGEBRA!! I'm not sure what I love so much about it, but I just think that the possibilities are ENDLESS with the fun things that you can do with it! I remember when I was in school and was in Algebra-it was book/paper activities ALL. THE. TIME. However, I plan to do some out of the box things this 9 weeks with my Expressions and Equations 6th Grade CCSS. :) So, here is a peek at what I did this past week in class to introduce Expressions and Equations. First, we took some note in our Interactive Notebooks on the difference between Expressions and Equations, vocabulary, the Distributive Property (with Algebra), and did some stick and solves (with post-its). It was hard for the students to grasp the distributive property a little with algebra since we learned about it a little with Number Systems, but with numbers not variables. They got stuck for awhile thinking that you could SOLVE these expressions with a number, so we spent a LOT of time talking about the difference between an expression and an equation. We then got into like terms and combining them. This sparked my higher students to go crazy with this, and all week during enrichment, I spent giving CHALLENGES with maybe 7 terms that had to be distributed to, powers and mixed variables! Even though we got into some CRAZY variables, powers, and combining (7th or 8th grade stuff), they had a BLAST! It really challenged them to understand the process-so I think that it really pushed my higher students! Not to mention they were having FUN---and who wants to stop that? :) We did an Algebraic Expression Mix and Mingle, too. I did it on note cards for now, unless anyone expresses an interest for me to put all of my Mix and Mingle games on Teachers Pay Teachers, then I will make them cute and fancy. :) Just send me a message or comment, First, I made expressions that the students needed to solve using the distributive property: I then also made cards in blue ink that had the answers written on them. The students paired up and were each given a question card and a random, answer card. The pairs of students then worked out the question on their card: Once everyone had worked out their questions, they mingled with each other to try to find the group with their answer card. They had a lot of fun--plus it included an aspect that ALL middle school students LOVE to do---MINGLE! :) The last thing that we got to this past week was translating words into algebraic expressions. Ugh. I was dreading this one because even when I taught math at the community college they struggled with this one. We started with some Pinspired notes in our interactive notebooks: Then we did some practice whole class. That is about as far as we got this week. We did a Mix and Mingle activity with this too. Everyone got a card-some were the words and some were the expressions, and they had to match up the correct words to expression. :) We only have two and a half days this next week of school, and I am planning to have them work on our Thanksgiving Math Centers as a review (shameless plug-they're on sale the rest of today!!!). :) Plus, I have math planning on Monday, so I won't be in the classroom. Have a great week everyone! :)

We are at the last stretch of a two week long October break. I've enjoyed it to the full. This is the year of no plans so we've spent this school break at home. Luca Bo (who has started his four year long apprenticeship to become an awesome wood worker/carpenter/builder) has been working most days as he no longer can benefit from school vacations. I think he was a little bit upset when reality sunk in last week, being the only one who needed to get up at dawn while the rest of us slept in. I'm so beaming proud of my boy, who gets up at 5.30 am making himself a frothy coffee and grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast. He prepares his lunch sandwiches and get ready to leave the house an hour later to catch the bus before sun comes up. All by himself. As a mother with a built in supervising radar, I usually wake up about the same just to make sure he is up (without him even knowing... I just put my "Mama elephant ears" into practice and listen for noise from his bedroom or the kitchen and as soon as I hear him I turn around and fall back asleep...) and not one single time has he overslept. In fact, he has never ever missed a school bus or been late for school in his whole life. That is more than I can say about myself... While Luca Bo has been working - learning how to set a tile floor, renovate a wooden chair and build a door (I love love LOVE that he has chosen this professional route, it is so him!!!) - the rest of us have had sleep in mornings and little on our agendas. As I work at an International school as an After School Carer, I have school break too and I've made the most of it by diving back into my crochet hobby. I've spent lots of time making slow but satisfying progress on my, for the moment, three WiP's: • The Blanket Of Hope to stay sane • The Cluster V-stitch baby blanket for unknown baby • Some Thermal stitch potholders for my home The weekend gave us fabulous autumn weather with crisp fresh air and sunshine. I decided to tidy up the shed, which was a complete disaster... Some of you might have seen it on my Instagram @myrosevalley. It was one of those spontaneous projects that you start on a whim with great enthusiasm and after 10 minutes you ask yourself: "Why on earth did I start this???" I stuck it through, dragged everything out, swept the floor, cleaned up all the mice poop, spider webs and dead bugs. Sorted, cleaned and re-arranged. I put up a number of big nails on the wooden walls to hang things. When all was done I was so chuffed with the result that I had to show it to every family member and get praised for my efforts (like a child... I know...) "Oh Mama, you've done so well. It looks great. Bravo!!!" Bless my children for knowing I need praise just as much as they do. On Sunday Jay and I took a long walk chatting about future plans. As a couple in our early 50's and with only teenagers in the house nowadays (how did that happen?), things are changing dramatically for us all and you start to think about what is coming next... Who are we? What do we want to do? Where are we going? As much as our youngest Emmy Bo is having a challenging time with existential thoughts in puberty, I guess we are going through a bit of the same thing... It's all new to us and it is a bit of challenging times. I think they call it midlife crises... A friend once asked me: "Annette, you - who always are in some sort of crises - can you help me because I think I'm having a crises and I don't know how to deal with it." Yep, that's me. And often I've been ashamed or annoyed of being that deep thinker, analytic person, questioning and putting to much thought into things... It hasn't been easy, it still isn't, but it is who I am and who I've always been. I guess you can say I've been in puberty crises, friendship crises, being single crises, changing job crises, love crises, moving country crises, getting married crises, becoming a mum crises, missing my home country crises, loneliness crises, who am I crises, low self esteem crises, I'm not good enough crises... Do you want me to go on? Crises has such a negative sound to it though and I prefer to call all these things challenges of life. As we travel on this journey through life, obstacles will occur and we will find ways to get around them. We will find solutions. And if we didn't have these challenges that forces us to reflect upon where we are, what we are doing and what we really want, how on earth would we be able to grow and dare to open doors to new exciting paths that might, or might not, lead us to new places, people and personal growth? I'm not saying that it is at all easy, but I do believe we sometimes have to stop and reflect on which path to take next. So anyway, we went on this beautiful afternoon walk up the mountain above our house and chatted lightly about this next phase in life. "The middle aged couple with grown up kids" phase. What does that mean? I'm not sure. I can recall so many people telling me throughout the years to really enjoy and cherish the time I have with the kids because one day they will be big and wanting to leave the nest... And I guess I always knew that, of course, but even if I did it has kind of sneaked up on me. It feels like it has all happened so suddenly. I just didn't really see (with emphasis on that word "see"...) it coming. Now I am the one saying the same thing to other mothers with young children. So bizarre... Time passes so quickly without you even noticing. Today is coming to an end already and a new day is to arise... and so life goes on. Somehow it feels like time is passing quicker and quicker the older I get. Do you feel the same way? At the end of the weekend I packed up my crochet, put away all my "bench time props" and closed the now tidy and organized shed. It really was an awesome, productive and relaxed weekend and although this week has been a bit hectic so far, I'm still making the most out of my "staycation", focusing on what I want to do instead of what I should do. And who knows... maybe this "staycation" will continue for a while... I suspect a new lock down might soon be reality... Corona is not giving in... quite the opposite. Take care my lovelies. Stay safe. But live. Don't forget to make the most of every day you have on this planet. And if that is making big changes, taking action on projects or just chilling with crochet, you decide.
