Day 172 - Tame the Email Monster with Inbox by GMail - Diana Marcus - BPS Mobile Learning Coach
This post first appeared on Ms. Marcus' Blog
It’s Monday morning and you cringe as you check your email. If you’ve set up folders or are using GMail’s priority inboxing options, you may at least have the advantage of knowing which emails need your immediate attention and which ones should be able to wait. More likely, you are faced with a chronological list through which you now have to slog, separating the wheat from the chaff, all while hoping that there’s no time-sensitive missive far down the list.
For the past couple of years, I’ve used Mailbox to help manage my email inbox which seems to overflow whenever I take my eye off of it for so much as a minute. Now, many of the features I like in Mailbox, such as an easy swipe to hide an email until a given date or time, are available in Inbox by Gmail, along with some additional features that should work well for my busy schedule.
I especially like the way that timely emails, such as those that contain dinner reservations or flight information pop to the top as the time draws near. No more booking your flight in January and then having to desperately search for the confirmation email in July as you get ready to leave for your vacation.
As in Mailbox, I can set a date for an email to return to the top of my mail list. I set the email with instructions for dropping my son off at college to pop up a day before we start our road trip.
Organize your long-term to-do list and create reminders that pop up when it is time to get things done. Great for that list of things you want to remember to do at the start of the next school year.
Take a look at this video for an overview to see if you want to take it out for a test drive.

Day 169 - Student Math Teachers - Mr. Daley - Fox Hill Grade 4
This post originally appeared on Mr. Daley's Blog
This year in Room 20, I provided students with an opportunity to teach a math lesson to their classmates. Five students expressed interest by responding to a number of questions and statements, including:
I was extremely please with each student teacher's preparation and delivery of his and her lesson. All teachers exhibited sound content knowledge and showed great classroom management skills. In both lessons, every one of their students was an active, energized participant during the lessons. Kudos to Jackie, Mikey, Daniel, Sades, Sam, and their Room 20 students for an informative, entertaining, hard-working two hours of instruction and learning!

This year in Room 20, I provided students with an opportunity to teach a math lesson to their classmates. Five students expressed interest by responding to a number of questions and statements, including:
- Tell me why you deserve this opportunity.
- What have you done in Room 20, at Fox Hill, and at home this year to demonstrate your academic, social, and emotional growth?
- What are some ways you have been the “1” this year?
- What strategies would you use to maintain a quiet, organized classroom while conducting your lesson?
Earlier this year, Jackie B. and Mikey W. conducted a lesson on "multiples" as part of our fractions unit. This past week, Daniel C., Sades M., and Sam P. taught a "units of time" lesson as part of our measurements unit.

Day 167 - Tapas Party - Ms. Mirabella - MSMS Spanish
Our 7th grade students did a wonderful job learning all of the vocabulary from the food chapter! To celebrate their success, we held an in class tapas tasting.
Students brought in authentic Spanish tapa items, as well as some Mexican favorites. I provided homemade tortilla española and some non-alcoholic sangria. Students tasted many different items, and noted their likes and dislikes on a chart. Everyone had a blast!
Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this tasting a success, including Mrs. Foley, the MSMS custodians, and all the parents who helped their 7th graders buy/prepare their tapas!
