Preparing for the New School Year

As a student, I was always one that needed to read and write in order to learn.  Like many of my students, the more opportunities I had to manipulate the content, the more likely I was to retain the material.  With this in mind, I created anchor posters that brighten my classroom while giving students an opportunity to gaze upon the previously covered topics.  Here are examples of the posters that my students find most helpful and eye catching.  I have made a few new ones in preparation for the new school year.

Check out my website, used my parents and students.  I've created more posters and more pictures of my safe learning haven soon to come.

Always a teacher and student,

I am a baking fool!

For a girl who doesn't normally bake, I have been measuring and mixing up a storm today.  It all started with some giant squash that came out of the garden at my school.  I've linked the recipes as well. 

Look at the size in comparison to the other items 
in the photo.
I
Zucchini pasta with crushed red pepper and garlic, chicken sausage and an artichoke.

Zucchini Muffins

Banana Bread
I used one less banana and added an avocado for a milder banana flavor.

I'm very proud of the baked goods as I don't typically measure when I cook.  Yes, I know...... I'm a math teacher but I know how things taste and baking is very unforgiving in that respect.


Enjoy,
