November Currently

Not going to make a long post at all today because Steven's taking a break from classwork so we can go hang out before he comes back to write a paper. But I wanted to go ahead and join Farley's currently!

I wish I could go ahead and post my literacy centers this weekend, but I have to wait until I get back to school. We have the old word, and the picture formatting is all messed up. So I have to get on my school computer and fix it before posting. It's going to be great though!

As for the music, I discovered this rap a few years ago and fell in love...

Then I found out it's actually from an entire CD all about math. Tons of fun! My kids loved it, and I would see them whispering the lyrics as they were trying to make their place value charts, etc.

Apparently they also have a language arts album, but I haven't listened to it.

If you teach math, I really recommend AT LEAST the place value rap. It's amazing, and the kids really will remember from then on!

Oh, and an FYI for my VA blogger friends - I decided to start a facebook page for us to join and find each other. I'm constantly running across other VA bloggers, but then I have trouble remembering who's who. Here's the CORRECT link (I hope):
