Dum da dum dum… duuuuuuum! And that’s not a lolly pop offer, 🙂 I’m talking mysteries…plus math! Found a fabulous reminder this morning of a site I’ve used with GT students before, although it can also be used whole group. It combines problem solving with their natural mystery loving tendencies. (Side note: Not a sponsored post, I […]

Instead of my usual 12 days of giving, this year I’m taking a page from the ever so smart Matt Arend, and focusing on being kind and paying it forward. There are a million different things you can do to brighten someone;s day and if we can help model that for our students, that would

I love that Jetpack sends me this “summary” of my year in writing. I also love that my top post included Kliff Kingsbury, 🙂 (wreck’em!)

The Teamann Family Top 2013 What an incredible year this was…professionally, the downs can’t keep up with the up’s…from traveling to ASCD, alone, and making the incredible connections that I did, to ISTE which felt like a family reunion…to landing at a new campus that is helping me grow, it was an amazing year.
I am in charge of our campus Christmnas card each year. I consider it my badge of honor (albeit, a badge made up in my head) that I’ve not done the same style of card in 4 years. (It’s the little things.) When I started thinking about something for this year, I remembered a tool
