About Me

Mom, wife, teacher, runner...that's me!
I'm the mother of 3 wonderful children...one a new music teacher, one in college, and one in high school. They are my joy!

I've been teaching for 22 years...12 years at the elementary level in 2nd, 4th, and 5th grades, and 10 years in the middle school, teaching 6th grade. I teach both math and language arts at this point, but also taught science for a few years.

I run as well as I can! It's my favorite exercise, but my body doesn't always seem to enjoy it:)

I started this blog relatively recently, and am finding more enthusiasm to write every day.....hopefully time will allow me to keep up with it!
My other 3 "children"...love them!

Help Students Learn to Manage Their Time

In my early years of teaching, I didn't always know what to say when students told me they didn't have time to do their homework (other than something like, "You must have had some time between 4:00 and 9:00!). There were all kinds of reasons - they had sports practice or a lesson, or they had to go to their brother's or sister's game/practice/event of some kind; or their parents took them shopping or out to eat. At that time I had one child (who was 2 when I started teaching), so I didn't have the experience from a parent's point of view of making sure I was getting my kids to their activities, getting done all the house-related things, and also making sure they were getting their homework done. This made it a little difficult for me to relate to the students' situations, but I tried to help them think about how much time they did have to do their work. Being involved in activities definitely reduces time for schoolwork, but it doesn't mean t...

Problem of the Week, #13

All problems are now on my new site:  https://cognitivecardiomath.com/free-resource-center/ Time for Problem of the Week, #13!  Part A of this week's problem asks students to write an algebraic equation for a situation (students will need to use 2 variables). In Parts B and C, they need to substitute the given information into their equation to solve.  An extension for students who finish early - ask them to "create" a bracelet that will cost a specific dollar amount.
