July Currently

I can't believe it is already July!  That means my summer break is half over!  Boo!  But I am so excited it is the beginning of the month because that means it is time for Currently from

So here we go...

Thinking--Ok I have been wanting a Silhouette die-cutting machine for a while.  I have a Cricut, but I am planning this baby shower and need a butterfly...many butterflies!  Well of course I don't have butterflies on any of my cartridges...and I just got frustrated...so I bit the bullet and bought the new Silhouette Cameo Digital Craft Cutter Machine.

Reads--I love to start off the school year the book Rules by Cynthia Lord.  If you haven't read it, it is about a girl whose brother has Austism, and she must wrestle with others perception of her brother and her new friend.  I have had students on the Austism Spectrum the past few years, and it really helps to build tolerance not only of these student but also of others.  Number Talks is a fabulous book to help you build your students mental calculations...my students have done amazing math thinking with strategies that I have learn from this book!   I hope you get a chance to read these!
