Tales from 8th grade math and occasional rants about poor grammar. Thursday, August 6, 2015. This week marked the end of a chapter of my life- my time as an 8th grade math and French teacher at an amazing middle school where my teaching career began. On Tuesday, my e-mail and message board access switched over to my new school. I spent all day Wednesday and half of Thursday finishing the gargantuan task of cleaning out my classroom.

Thursday, September 24, 2015. I gave each of my students a clean sheet of white construction paper and asked them to draw a bug. Most of them decided that the undiscovered bug was more fun to draw. After 20 minutes of time, I put the pictures up and started asking some questions about the bugs on the board. How many bugs are on the board? How many bugs make up one half? My eighth grader.
