Fraction Bars

Friday, June 21, 2019 No comments
Fractions can be tough for students to understand. When I introduce fractions I use several visual ways to show my students fractions. One visual I use is fraction bars. 

This visual really helps students compare one whole and breaking it in fractions. I made this sheet for my students. I have them glue it into their math interactive notebook so they can reference it when needed. You can grab my Fraction Bars in my store HERE.

Make A Wish!

I just had to share this! A student gave me this as a gift. I just absolutely love it! Today I made my wish and tied it on. Here is a link to the owner's shop on Esty where my student bought it from. She has a ton of other ones - for weddings, teachers, friends, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and more.

Head to her shop HERE


Speaking of teacher gifts - what are some of your favorites? I always ask for donations to my Donors Choose project. I am currently working on getting iPads for my classroom. Check out my project HERE. Donors Choose is an amazing organization and always helps teachers get needed items for their classrooms. Currently, they are matching all donations so my $800 project can be fully funded for only $400.00. If a donation of $20 is turned in then it becomes $40! No amount is too small and I have had several corporations donate to my causes - remember it also a tax write off!



My other favorite gift is a TPT gift card!! Who doesn't want one of those? I am constantly supporting TPT sellers with their amazing resources!

Lastly, another favorite gift would be gift cards to stores like Target, office stores, Ikea, any stores that I can buy items for my classroom.

I love that I get gifts that are for me but my true joy is to put back into my classroom, my students and my teaching.
