I was home again today. Sleeping… Trying to get a doctor’s appointment to nip this neck thing in the bud…
After hearing that remainders were tough for my class today, I decided, at 6:45 p.m., to find some division games to help them nail-down their division skills before forging-on with remainders. I found a great Origo Game called “Have a Half.”
So… I began duplicating the numeral cards on card stock and started cutting them and stacking them in piles. I copied the game boards and put them in sheet protectors. Then, feeling the need to jazz it up a bit, I created a funky header for the rule sheet and typed up the rules in a MS Word Document. I think, considering how I’m feeling, that I did a decent job. (I didn’t have the energy to laminate the cards like I usually do. If these get messed up, I can always redo them for the next class.)
I’m looking forward to heading back to my kiddies tomorrow. 🙂

So glad you’ll be back in the classroom! Your lesson looks terrific. The more I read the blogs of folks participating in this challenge, the more I wish all of you had been my teachers when I was a kid! You put so much into your work. It’s really lovely to read about your process.

I’ve been out sick, too, for two days and I both hate it (sub plans and worrying about the kids and missing them, too) and enjoying the freedom of the days (since my kids go off to school).
Except for the hacking and the tiredness and all that sick stuff. Yeah, I don’t like that part of it.
Back to school today for parent conferences.
