If you have a dream activity, project, or just a need for your classroom donorschoose can help make it happen. When we started virtual teaching something just felt off and sitting all day was hard for me. I'm a very active person and I realized I missed standing up. Through donorschoose I was able to get a stand up desk and it makes a HUGE difference. For me, it make virtual teaching seem more normal. COVID has created many challenges in how I typically run my classroom and I was able to get supplies to still have activities at their desk. If you don't like asking others for money, donorschoose has match offers which allow you to fund your project without asking others. I typically use a match offer plus double or triple match days to fund my project. A double or triple match day is mostly random but the site will tell you what days any money donated to your project will be double. This makes an easy way to take that $25 gift card you get from a match offer and turn

Some problems all of the envelopes are a solution to one of the system on others some are not solutions to either. Hope you enjoy the activity. Systems of Inequalities Drag and Drop
I recently learned how to make simple drag and drop activities. This method no longer requires you to download your slide then upload as a background. To make these easy drag and drops we will use the slide master. This is located under edit then edit master. Anything you do in master cannot be edited or moved when in the presentation. If you want to see a brief video on how it works it's below. It also works nicely for projects, activities, or notes. Here are some examples of what I’ve made using slide master. City Project Exponent Drag and Drop
There is always a week or 2 after the SOL(Virginia's Standardized Test) where learning must continue yet you are divided. If your classroom is like mine after the standardized test your class is split based on scores, if students missed the test, and whether students will take the final. I decided to update an old project that the students enjoy and give it after the SOL. This project has students find the slope, y-intercept, and write the equation of a line. This is all done digitally so it can work in a virtual classroom. City Project
I shared about this grant in the fall. This year Langley Federal Credit Union decided to fund ALL 75 grant request they received. This is huge is so many ways, as a teacher it means that I can do activities in my classroom while meeting all the COVID protocols and not spend my planning period cleaning all the supplies to be ready for my next class. In our district no supplies may be shared unless they are sanitized between use. Through the grant I was able to get a set of the following supplies for each of my students. Dry Erase Markers with Eraser Paddle Whiteboards Crayola Crayons 8 pack Rulers Scissors Storage Bags I also have a student of the month award for each of my classes. This year my students have been doing awesome with virtual learning so I have been giving out 3 awards each class period each month which has quickly eaten up my supplies. They also provided more Mini Trophies to give out to my students. Mini Thumbs Up Trophies If you are interested in learning
