About Me: I am a 2nd grade teacher in Phoenix, AZ. I never thought I would love teaching the younger ones, but I do. This is my second year teaching. I love learning about student invented math strategies including some CGI concepts. I love the workshop approach to reading and writing and am trying out Words Their Way for the first time.
I also love integrating technology. I am currently getting my masters in Educational Technology from Northern Arizona University.
Other than teaching, I enjoy listening to and TRYING to play music (guitar and bass), reading, basketball (I coached for 3 years at the high school level), and cats.....yes I said it ....CATS!

I want to hear some good ideas for the classroom...so please share!
Thanks!

Hey all! I finally figured out how to make a podcast. About time! I'm considering submitting it to iTunes. the name of the podcast is "The Teachers Life". Check it out and let me know what you think. There's even an online poll for you to take!!!!!!!!! I would love any suggestions on how to make it better. Thanks!

I am doing graduate research on this project and will notify the classroom teacher of your interests. Thanks for allowing me to become a contact.

At 7:31pm on January 31, 2009, Alice Tope said…: Hi Bobby.
I'm back with another arithmetic problem.
I ate lunch at the mall today, and spent $3.25 for rice and vegetables. Then I bought a Hershey bar for $.75.
How much did I spend for my lunch and candy?
Oh! I forgot that I had to pay $.24 tax on the rice and vegetables.
What was my total, after adding the tax?

Is this too difficult?

Thank you for helping me. I will bring "visitors" to your Classroom 2.0 page next week from the Ohio Educational Technology Conference. I am doing a mini session on PBS Teachers Connect for the Ohio Educational Technology Agencies. Now that I've connected with you, I'll have an excellent example to show participants. They'll love it! And now, good night ;-).
