Excellent Cheryl! My my how far technology has come! The kids at WOCSD are lucky to have you there, discovering all this cool innovation for them to learn! :-)

Great stuff Cheryl!

Cheryl, this is a great post about an idea and the how you and your students made it all work. I hope others will follow your lead and add field trips to their options for students. Good to hear about the funding from Target too.

Wow Cheryl! This sounds like a true adventure. You were very brave to take this on and I love how you turned what could have been adversity into something to cheer about. I am so impressed and I know that this is something that these kids will remember for a long time to come.

Hope you are well. I don't always comment, but I am often reading. Keep up the great work. You are inspiring.

You are a busy woman Cheryl! You reminded me of my eight years in Special Ed. I did a LOT of those same things! The paperwork really drove me out of that field. I love the kids, so I decided to be the general teacher in an inclusion setting instead. :)

One nice thing about a land line is it doesn't depend on electricity. You can have a power failure and still use the phone. Sometimes the old way is still a good option.

Cheryl, I r eally enjoyed this email and hope to try some of your suggestions. I happened upon your blog through the "fall challenge", which I may begin. Better late than never. Rita

Great post..I too am a lover of math and a math teacher by training as well. I forgot about the Fibonacci sequence. I loved teaching that to my middle school students.

Melanie, this is why we blog to share the conversation and get the wisdom of the crowd!

2010-10-17T17:19:30.214-07:00

Cheryl,

Thanks for the reminder that math is an every day "experience" we all share. Like you and your husband, my wife and I are putting in the larder as well as all manner of home improvements. Our project this weekend was a new window in the bathroom. It never ends! :-)

Thanks also for the connection to Melanie Holtsman's blog. I'll be adding her to my Reader!

P.S. How did the entry way turn out?

I've never heard of fibonacci, but you better bet I'll be impressing some students with it! Thanks for teaching me, Cheryl!

2010-10-17T09:28:32.722-07:00

The first thought I had when I read your post was how I wished my students could envision themselves as mathematicians. Instead, too many view math as a hurdle they have to jump over to get through (and out of) school.

You have me thinking of ways to help students see themselves as doers and creators of math from an early age. I'd like to use my website to launch one of these ideas. Would you mind if I borrowed your title?

I actually use the fibonacci sequence when knitting. I use it to figure out the number of rows for each color. Somewhere I read that it makes the prayer shawls more interesting than even numbered rows. Hope your project turns out well. :)

2010-10-10T20:00:17.560-07:00

I definitely say audiobooks is reading because it's not as easy as it seems. When I downloaded my first audiobook I had to keep backing it up and relistening because I had to train my mind to focus on the story. I must be very visual because it was so hard for me. I bet folks that don't really care for reading would enjoy it if they tried audiobooks. When I am going on a car trip or on an airplane I always download an audiobook as a guilty pleasure for the ride. I think it's so interesting that you only use audiobooks for your pleasure reading. :) Thanks for joining the challenge!
