Hey Friends!
I haven't posted in a while because I've been a PowerPoint creating machine! First of all, I have to say, the feedback you guys have been giving me on TpT is so gratifying and motivating! I finished ELA Module 1 Unit 2! That was such a relief! I was getting burned out on that topic and I haven't even taught it yet! If you haven't seen, I've also been creating the Math Module 1 in PowerPoint. From what people have be
en writing to me, it seems that many states are adopting the New York Math program! Woo Hoo! I am a fan of it but I can't imagine teaching it without the PowerPoint lessons. Module 1 is teaching Multiplication and Division and you constantly need to be showing the students arrays, tape diagrams, groups and sets, rows, columns... sheesh! How would anyone have time to prepare this on chart paper, or are we supposed to draw these things while the kids are waiting... that was very confusing to me! I know I would lose 90% of my students if they had to sit there while I try to draw objects in perfect rows and columns on the board. Ridiculous. Now, I don't have to worry about this, and neither do you (if you go on TpT and purchase the powerpoint lessons). Please "pin" the products you like to help me spread the word!
