We are. I teach sixth grade standard and honors. Second year using it. I like it because it is very rigorous and helps build student capacity. Being virtual has brought its challenges since this curriculum is best implemented in person but we have found ways around it. We use canvas exclusively with each lesson and we only do 1-2 activities from each lesson that goes along with the main goal of the lesson. Since it’s a district wide curriculum I do get a lot of support in using it as well as resources.

Yes, for sure. Anyway we could share contact info? I also did the same and have essentially created my own. I don't want to take away from Open-Up because they have inspired me to think deeper.

Anyone have a smart scale they like? I just got this Withings scale and it is all over the place with the body fat measurements. A good 8 points higher than the inbody at my gym.

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time.

My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.

Thoughts on Engage NY/Eureka math...

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.
