My currently this month is pretty self-explanatory. I do have to say this new iPad I have is leading to a lot of new revelations. Currently, I am very excited to use QR codes with my students. The ladies at Learning to the Core have written a post that has really inspired me and have several QR code things in their TPT shops that I must try out. Starting with this one!
The other thing that is a must have for back to school is several things from the Math Coach's Corner. She wrote a post about number bracelets that is quite amazing. They are a great way for primary students to look at different combinations of numbers that add to a given number. She also wrote a great unit plan that uses the number bracelets and makes it so I can hit the ground running. I think these will be great for the general classroom and very VERY great for my intervention kids!!!!
I have 20 days until I have to be back at work for pre-service days. I have a lot to do!
What are your back to school must-haves?
August has certainly flown by hasn't it? Lucky you, congrats on the new ipad...I'm thinking that I might put that on my wishlist for Christmas lol...we have 25 days before we head back to school but I know that they are going to fly by...enjoy the rest of your summer!

The iPad is fantastic but it is a BIG time consumer right now because I am still figuring it all out and trying to find the best ways to use it with my students!
DeleteI really need to get going with the QR codes. To be honest, I don't totally understand them but I'm glad to hear there's a good tutorial!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

I have seen wonderful activities and ideas using them on other teacher blogs. It is definitely something I need to try.
DeleteYay for new ipads. I had one funded this summer through Donor's Choose - hoping it will be delivered asap since supposedly they were just waiting for the office to open.

Hope you get it before school starts!
DeleteI love my iPad and QR codes! Learning to the Core has been doing a linky party called Tune into Technology with some great topics! Since I did currently today, I am doing my post for their linky party tomorrow. Check it out!

Thanks for sharing! What a great resource.
DeleteI just made a QR center for my students to practice mean, median and mode later this year. I made it as the project for a class I took, but liked it so much I uploaded it to TpT - as a freebie!

I am sure I will love them too!
DeleteI saw the bracelets and pinned them. I constantly feel like I've got lots to learn about being a better math teacher. :)

I learn so much every year about being a better math teacher. It makes me feel bad for the students I had my first few years of teaching.
DeleteThanks so much for the shout out! QR codes are seriously so fun! :)

You are so welcome on the shout out! I downloaded and printed the QR code addition and subtraction scavenger hunt today and had so much fun trying it out. I can't wait to use the other products from your store!
