Raising Three Savvy Ladies

Think Fun Code Master & Math Dice Chase Giveaway

Earlier in the school year, my savvy ladies as well as my class participated in the Hour of Code Day.  From that point on, they were hooked on coding.   We started looking at a variety of coding opportunities online and I wanted to take it to the next level at home and in the classroom too.

The  Code Master coding board game was an immediate hit.  Although you can play alone, I enjoyed watching my class explore the new materials together and trying to figure out how to play.  Immediately, pairs of boys and girls alike were interested to see how a coding board game compared to trying it on the computer.

Code Master programming logic game is definitely a way to ignite your mind.  I found that when I sat with my students and asked what they were learning, I too learned something new.

As time went on and the class became more familiar with the game, I found that they wanted to play alone.  This made it perfect to have more than one game so that others could play at the same time.

This game is still as popular as the day I first introduced it to my classroom.  They love playing and use it as an incentive when they have finished their classwork.

 

Another great Think Fun game that I introduced to the class was the  Math Dice Chase multiplication game.  I love  that it was invented by a teacher.  This game was a big hit.  It was a great way to practice multiplication skills and support all levels of learners.

If the game became too challenging, some of the groups of students started to turn it into an addition game.  I liked that it was versatile like that.  This mathematical hot potato was a great way to enhance our math learning in the class and practice basic facts in a fun way.

Think Fun Math Dice Game

These two Think Fun games would make an excellent addition to your classroom or to your games at home.  They are a lot of fun really make you think quickly.

Raising Three Savvy Ladies has a Code Master and Math Dice Chase for one lucky reader. Enter below.

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
