Shut the Front Door!

ByElizabeth S.

First of all, I’m so amazed at the new traffic over here.  I’m humbled that you like me enough to stick around. 

Remember, I still feel like this:

Like every single day that I open up my blogger and read my comments and see who is visiting.

When I started this adventure back in October, I had no idea how much blogging would change me.  I’ve “met” such wonderful new friends here that truly inspire me each and every day.

Tonight when I got home from a lovely dinner over at my parents’ house for Father’s Day, {Holla- Dad and super-hubby…they don’t read this, so really I didn’t have to “Holla” at them.}  I opened my email and was completely blown away with this from one of my ultimate FAV*OR*ITE teacher supply companies, Really Good Stuff:

Y’all……………SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!

Seriously?

Me?

Yes, now I really do sound like Sally Field.  Somebody slap me now!

Here’s a clip of the email:

How Important is Multiplication Fluency?

ByElizabeth S.

Oh, that is such a loaded question. Isn’t it?  It all boils down to numeracy and number sense if you ask me.  Students need to know and understand how 3×5=15 equates to 3 sets of 5, or 5 sets of 3.  It also means that if you start with 15 items and place those items…
