If you haven't noticed, the name and address for my blog has changed. I was recently hired as a 7th grade Math Applications & Foundations teacher at a neighboring school district. I am THRILLED! Essentially this is a STEM position. I am to teach the entire 7th grade about STEM through real-world projects! How awesome is that!?!?! The district has purchased a number of laptops and iPads for me to use, as well as a variety of K'NEX kits and FOS Science Kits. As I head off for vacation soon, my hubby will find quite a few of these new "toys" in our vehicle to play with over our vacation.
The reason I adjusted my blog is so that I can focus primarily on what I am teaching in terms of STEM projects and the activities I come across in my search for materials. I will still be posting cool math stuff and general classroom ideas, but the focus will be on the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through project-based learning assignments. Stay tuned for links and rubrics for projects I plan on using. School starts August 27th, so I do not have a lot of time...
