Although, my experience shows a few students who love getting those points. But in every case, they were already strong readers. Sure, let those kids use it and feel that success, but don't force every child into AR.

Not a fan. I second what @alicekeeler.com said and will add that it has children choosing books to read based on their point value. We should focus on helping kids find joy in reading and then reading because of that. NEVER should s grade be assigned for AR achievement.

I know!! I was bummed I couldn't tag him. Aren't you guys like, besties?!?! If he won't do it for you, he certainly won't do it for me. 😆

I LOVE my extended monitors at school.

Solid marriage advice.

Partial products for this girl. It's funny, though. If this was written vertically, I would've solved it using the algorithm in my head.

I LOVE all of the resources that Everfi has for elementary level! Such good content and engaging for students.

Clearly, he's never met a meteorologist. 🤣

Ha!!!!

Surely she doesn't recommend NO ppp

I'll add it to my list. I don't want you thinking I'm one of those teachers :)
My math block (I teach the same kids all day) is hands on, fun, innovative, and confidence building. All I'm saying is that ppp still holds value when done in small batches within the above, and as an option through UDL.

I have not read that particular book. Paper and pencil practice, of course isn't the only way to give kids independent practice with a newly acquired math skill. For littles, it's important to do some alone and also to work on writing. It's one of many ways to teach all kids.

Oh man!! That's painful to even see. I do believe students need independent paper pencil practice. So if I must use a page like this, I tell them to choose 8. Several ask if they can do more, SURE! More than 8 is just torture.
