My Top 10 Tips for a Better UNIT MENU Experience

Hi again! Happy snowday.... errrr, I mean Sunday.

Did you get snow last week?  We sure did - and we even had a surprise early dismissal and school closing the following day!  I still can't believe we lost a snow day so early in the school year!

This week I am switching it up from my weekly vlog, and spending more time focusing on my unit menu design.  For those of you who are new around here, student choice and differentiation are staples in my classroom culture.  I really enjoy giving my students the power to choose the ways in which they learn and demonstrate their understanding.  This week, I suggest 10 tips to help you create a more meaningful experience for your students using unit menus.

Enjoy!  I know your students most certainly will!

My First Formal Observation of the School Year | MsRazz ChemClass

It's my first formal observation of the school year!  Watch as I discuss what lesson I'll be doing, how I prepare, and how the observation went.  I'll also share how I create review videos using the 'FIZZ method.' 

I hope this week's vlog will help to support and encourage you as you prepare for your own formal observations.  Thanks so much for watching!
