It can be one of those things that you completely forget to do because you are to busy looking at all the math lessons you have to teach! I keep trying more ways to use Post-Its!

Let's face it - one size doesn't fit all, and not every lesson is going to hit the nail on the head for every learner all at the same time - you've gotta keep switching things up and it really looks like you've got that down to a science!

I love that math idea with the vocabulary word and having the students draw it. That is something that the book said that I would really like to do more of! Thanks for a great post!
