What do you offer in terms of work time with your students? Do you do any tutoring or after school practice sessions? Set aside an hour a week for homework catch up and questions? I'm trying to decide what's best for my class

Curious to see the comments here.

This is my second year having a block (84 minutes) all year long with 7th grade math. We start every day with a 15 - 20 minute warmup. Students work individually on assignments, ask questions, etc. I’m also able to check in with students who were absent. After the warmup we learn new content, do partner work, activities, and sometimes have enough time to do more individual practice. I was a little nervous to go from periods to blocks, but I prefer it now.

Students so rarely ask for help that is exciting when they do. I make myself available by appointment before or after school in most cases. I NEVER help at lunch.

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

We recently sleep trained our 7 month son. He went from waking up multiple times during night and taking only 30 minute naps 3 times during day (most cases nursed to sleep or rocked to sleep or took a drive) to sleeping 12 hours at night without interruption and two 2 hour naps and one 45 minutes nap during day. We both love that he is getting enough sleep and well rested on one hand. On the other hand, we are now wondering if he is sleeping way too much.. contd…

However, I would like to do it without having to create something in advance. I hope this doesn't sound confusing.

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.
