Since coming back from winter break, we have had 4 inclement weather days!! Thankfully, my district hasn’t selected to have students involved in virtual learning, but I suspect we will if we have more days. What kind of activities do you provide your students during remote learning days? Do you have an LMS in your district? What grade levels would you say use it at school?

I’m teaching a unit on fractions. Does anyone have any good differentiation materials for students at several different levels? Worksheets or activities are welcome.

As a teacher of students with learning disabilities, I find that, especially as they grow, motivation can be a challenge. How do you find ways to motivate your students who struggle most with learning?
