One Good Thing: Volume 3

It’s been a while since I’ve shared my “One Good Things” from the week.  Here’s volume 1 and volume 2.  It’s been a challenging few weeks, so I thought focusing on the good at the end of the week would be a good thing in and of itself.

My first hour students were working on “Number Muncher” the Monday after Thanksgiving break.  When I said it was time to be done, their response was, “What?? Can’t we just stay in math all day?”

One of my students shared with me about his first Black Friday experience.  He was NOT impressed.  AT ALL.  Even though he got this huge thing of gum balls, he would be perfectly happy to never experience Black Friday shopping again.  Ha!

We did an activity called Balance Points in 6th grade this week.  It’s always a highlight for the students AND me.  I don’t think there’s a single person in the room who isn’t smiling when we do this.

The second day we did this activity, this grouped asked if we could have an question with an answer of 5 because, “we want to do that one we did yesterday.”
