I'm not sure what happened, but the last two months have been a complete blur! My calendar has been packed with Literacy Professional Learning, Math Recovery, Curriculum Review Teams, and working on campuses. I absolutely love working with teachers, but I need a break! Luckily, Thanksgiving is just a few days away. So, I'll tell you that I am thankful for all the schools and teachers who have been open to new ideas, who have tried and succeeded or tried and failed, who have loved on kids while trying to meet their needs and the needs of parents, administrators, and everyone else. I am thankful for the teachers who are taking care of my own kiddos. What you do every day is so important. Thank you for letting me be a small piece of all the work you do every day.
Because I am so thankful for you, I am going to share something with you that I recently shared at the Math Curriculum Review Professional Development:

The button above links a presentation I put together on People to Follow in Math Education. You're welcome. Seriously though, websites are linked on each slide that you may find useful. Robert Kaplinsky is a favorite! Three Act Math Tasks, Numberless Word Problems, What do you notice? What do you wonder? quesions, number sense, free curriculum: you name it, it's on there.
Now the challenge is to do the same for other subjects! YIKES!! I'll try, but I don't think I can do better than this gold mine right here!
