It's that time of the year again...the unspeakable "f" word


My math bag! (The other side says math is fun)

Ah, the much pain in my butt math bag/curriculum project. Man, how long did it take cutting out those letters from fabric and sewing them on one by one! The professor made this project more complicated for us. Originally we only had to pick a concept (like decimals, fractions) and create 3 take-home standards based activities. But instead, we had to choose a theme that integrates different subject areas. I really do like this idea of a math bag, where students take turns bringing home this bag and working on the activities with their parents. So you're wondering what activities do I have in here & how on earth did I connect bugs with math? Well, you'll just have to come over and I'll show you ;) M to the A-T-H!

Speaking of math, this older lady (D), the one that questioned why I still did origami....uhm yeah, she totally STOLE one of my activities that I had presented a few weeks ago. I wouldn't have minded if she "borrowed" it and gave me credit, but she acted like it was something that she came up with. But my friends at our "bad" table all knew and were like, "she better be paying you some usage fees!" It's just frustrating because I'm all about this community of sharing but you should make it known that you're borrowing instead of playing it off like it's your own creation.

Oh yeah, go watch "Rent"! I LOVED it, I'm so into it now that I got the CD for it too. My fave is Angel...of course.
