Math worksheets
I found Mrs. Clowers very exciting and interesting. She has helped me to look at math instruction in a different light. I have attempted using some of the strategies suggested and have found them to be very effective. Understanding that when we use our bodies as well as our hands to learn, can make a great impact on our students. It is vital that we try to meet the needs of our students. The text presented last time is a great resource to help us do just that!

Worksheets and Moving
I thought Ms. Clowers was fabulous! I am a firm believer that kids must learn in many different ways- not just sitting and drilling. There is a time and a place for them, but learning is so much more than paper. I love to move around and use all senses to learn, and I want my mentee to understand how important it is for the students to be able to do the same! I am currently sharing the book with her- Dendrites.... Look forward to more wonderful things to come!
