My...Absolutely LOVE the math homework and quizzes. My students are becoming so much more confident in their abilities. At the beginning of the year they really struggled, now most are only getting 1 or 2 wrong on their homework and they are thrilled!! (Me too!!) I attempted Calendar Math at the beginning of the year but they were having so much difficulty with it and I was always running out of time that I dropped it. I think they will be much better able to do calendar math now that they are becoming much more independent so I'm thinking of trying to add it back in. Thanks so much for all your work on these products - they are making a big difference with my kids!!Teachincahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714819034677108379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-61998107422206639772013-01-06T16:20:25.012-08:002013-01-06T16:20:25.012-08:00I am loving both-I need to be better at calendar m...I am loving both-I need to be better at calendar math and making sure I do it. My schedule is so crazy with RTI and ELD time...I, too, would love to see your daily schedule, if possible. I rearranged my schedule over break so I plan to add in calendar math the last half hour of the day (and try to pull some kiddos for math intervention while the others are working). I love the homework, but we are soo limited in copies! I am hoping they give us more after break. :-( I was doing your lightning rod math ideas with my 4th graders daily, but cannot anymore because of copies shortage. Geez, would they limit people in other professions to their must have supplies???Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222988240112042151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-49298439698504931002013-01-06T16:09:56.473-08:002013-01-06T16:09:56.473-08:00Yay!

It's hard because I have 4th and 5th and the range is HUGE in terms of where they are....so we do the 4th grade homework and 5th grade calendar and I can't wait to have REAL PROOF (test scores) to show that its working :)Rayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11188775899039031370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-6027082494304595922013-01-06T16:04:05.541-08:002013-01-06T16:04:05.541-08:00I love your math homework!!!

I purchased it, but couldn't get me team on board with it...sad. They were worried about getting to the daily lesson/instruction. If you had time and were so inclined it would be great for you to email what your instruction looks like and how you plan it around these two wonderful ideas. I think then I could get their buy in. They are going to be using your spiral homework next year, after having seen the success my students are having. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful product!!!<br /><br />Stephanie<br />mcafeestph26@hotmail.comStephanie McAfeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596387593712134707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-40669883711623007142013-01-06T14:14:39.108-08:002013-01-06T14:14:39.108-08:00Stephanie--I'd really love to do your calendar...Stephanie--I'd really love to do your calendar math. We have a daily practice item provided by our district that it aligned with our state test, but I think calendar math would be so much more productive.
