From this class, I hope to connect with teachers who want to see the same in their students. I aim to provide resources, coaching, feedback, and collaboration with other teachers in this group.]]> 2019-01-08 01:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/318141518 christinahibbitts https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/318859055 My name is Christina Hibbitts and I am a self-contained ASD teacher at Keller. This is my 10th year teaching ASD. We tried to aim for a more "junior high" experience for our students so this year I am teaching math to most of the students in our program. I have a wide variety of students that I work with ranging from students who are just beginning their numeracy development to students who are learning 7th grade material. 

From this class, I really hope to take away a strong structural system that I can have in place in all of my math sections in order to incorporate numeracy. I also hope to have a general understanding of the scope and sequence of numeracy development so I can help all my students of varying levels. ]]> 2019-01-09 16:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/318859055 tricialeong https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/319878027 My name is Tricia Leong and I am one of the math department chairs at Frost Junior High. This is my 13th year at Frost and I teach both 710 and 810 math acceleration. I spend a lot of time planning with the 710 and 810 teams as well as our acceleration teams, so my goal for this class is to bring the ideas that we learn back to the teams during planning. Since a lot of my PLC members are taking this course, I look forward to collaborating with them in regards to what we learn from everyone else!]]> 2019-01-11 21:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/319878027 https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/320255416 My name is Chris Morris and I teach Geometry and 710 at Frost Junior High. This is my third year teaching math. My goal for this class is to collaborate with my PLC during this course and to generate new ideas for our PLC. Additionally, I want to help my students with their number sense while making it fun for them. ]]> 2019-01-14 12:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/320255416 https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/320385713 My name is Nicole Nelson, and I am a special ed. teacher at Eisenhower. I co-teach 710, as well as teach 7th grade math acceleration. I've been at Ike for 11 years now, and I'd like to make numeracy more fun and engaging for my acceleration students, so I am excited to learn more about implementing numeracy and get more ideas on what to implement.]]> 2019-01-14 16:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/320385713 https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/320518701 My name is Kailey LaRocque and I teach 810 and 930 at Addams Junior High. This is my fourth year teaching at Addams. My goal for this class is to find new ways to make numeracy more engaging for my students and learn how to better implement numeracy to work on number sense. ]]> 2019-01-14 20:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/320518701 https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/320602303 My name is Ashley McConnell and I teach 710 and 930 at Mead Junior High. I am a first year teacher!  I am excited to take this course to learn how to better develop number sense for my students and how to make numeracy more engaging. I am looking forward to the new the ideas and strategies from this course.

This is my first year teaching! I am excited to take this course to help get a better understanding of Numeracy and how I can make it more engaging. My goal is to learn new ideas and bring them to my PLC so as a department we can have a better understanding of what numeracy is and what it looks like. ]]> 2019-01-15 16:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/320868997 https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/320908037 My name is Michelle Truax, and I teach 930, Geo, 810, and 6th grade math at Lincoln Prairie. This is my 6th year teaching, and I feel like I've gotten into a rut with my numeracy development/number talks. I'm hoping to get better at creating more engaging, thought provoking, and applicable number talks :)]]> 2019-01-15 18:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/320908037 https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/321243187 My name is Carrie Felgenhauer, and this is my 20th year teaching math at Frost! I have taught every level (except Geo) however the last 12 years has been 710, 715, and now this year I am also doing 810 Acceleration. I am really excited for this class because numeracy is so important. I love hearing the math talk between the students however I struggle making it short and meaningful!]]> 2019-01-16 14:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/321243187 https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/321971986 My name is Dana Feeney and this is my 5th year teaching math at Frost! I have taught 810, 710 and 715. I currently teach 710 and 715! My goal for this course is to get ideas of how to make numeracy more engaging for students. I also hope to learn more about how to bring experiences into the classroom that allow for students to make connections to the real world :)  ]]> 2019-01-18 01:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/321971986 https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/321976662 Hi!

I currently teach 810 & 715. I am looking forward to being apart of this numeracy boot camp. In 810, our PLC often gives Google Forms at the beginning of class to start the students off. While this was great for the teachers, we noticed a drop in engagement and overall math discussion in the class. The participation was originally there when students were excited about using the Chromebooks but now I am looking to find new, creative, innovative ways to give numeracy. ]]> 2019-01-21 20:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/322785208 https://padlet.com/sd54/hrkk718x4mkd/wish/322791727 Hi!
