Generous Hearts - Silly in Sixth

You have to love people, and I guess companies, who are truly generous. Not just the "we're here for you and want to give you a free (fill in the blank) that isn't really all that valuable so you will be a customer for life" generous, but the truly, "wait, you haven't eaten this week? Here is my lunch" generous. And that brings us to Silly in Sixth.

Silly in Sixth on TpT 
Silly in Sixth is a teacher-author from Connecticut who sells products on TeachersPayTeachers. With just over 100 products, it is still a relatively small store (hey, so is ELA in Middle School with 130 products to date!), but this teacher-author has a great heart. Silly in Sixth will be donating 100% of the store's profits for March, April, May, and June of 2020 to a local food bank in Connecticut! Talk about generous!

The store is generalized in that it has products across the curriculum, but specialized in that the focus seems to be 6th grade. I haven't gone through all of the products available, so I cannot be sure about that, but even so, 4th to 8th grade teachers may well find the material useful for differentiation! So, please, take a few minutes and stop by SillyinSixth on TpT, and consider a purchase! My favorite item so far is the Narrative Nonfiction Writing - perfect for journaling during this quarantine!

Wow! Step 20! Really? Who knew? Perhaps it's time for a sequel to the  Guide ! Perhaps, but first... VIDEO PREVIEWS Scary thing to consider doing, I know!

It may not be the BEST of quality, but it actually isn't the worst I've seen! And, Deb Mendoza, Lily Pad Queen of  Froggy About Teaching , viewed it and said that I had to warn people, er, inform people, about how to do these!

Distance Learning Math Probability Made Fun with Matemaths

Math made fun! Not something I would usually agree with, but Enrica Minetti of Matemaths manages to do so!

She offers these resources through her storefronts on TeachersPayTeachers  and on TheWheelEdu . Distance Learning Probability Practice Online Interactive is one of her latest creations. Available for $3.00 (USD)  from Matemaths! This resource is offered in PowerPoint format, and I was able to easily use it in Google Slides. It offers 20 fast review problems, perfect for students to do over summer or semester break, or as a review before an assessment. Each of the problems is set up as a word problem, with picture representations of the problems as well. Enrica takes the time to quickly review lowest common denominators without students realizing that this is happening! The fast action allows students to work through th...
