I had everything ready, my prep time would be next to nothing, and then…. boom! My Smartboard lamp died. Of course, my district didn’t have any on hand. They have since ordered some, but for some reason ordering things in the public school system seems to operate on the dog year schedule. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful they have provided me with all these wonderful tools, I’m just frustrated. Teaching without my Board just seems wrong. It’s probably just me, but I don’t feel as effective.
It is really interesting teaching two grade levels of Everyday Math. I’m surprised how similar the content is. There have been a number of times I found myself wondering if I was repeating myself between grade levels.
I wish I had more to share, but I have been highly unmotivated to create new files with my situation. On a more positive note, I have been contacted by quite a few people that have asked about sharing their files on the site. Hopefully they will get up there sometime.
As far as the forums go, I apologize for all the spam. I have all the recommended addons and precautions in place, but they aren’t proving very effective. It’s starting to drive me crazy. Hopefully something new will be available soon!
