I attended the 4.0 Schools “Essentials” class last week in New Orleans for That’s Math. This quote struck me: “Creativity comes from constraint.” It made me itch to do another 50 word post.

So I thought I’d combine a couple of my favorite Friday fun flurries – 50 Word Friday AND Five Minute Friday.

This week’s prompt for #FMFParty is gather. Take a peek under the obnoxious image to see the short 50 words I have to say about it (that I wrote in under 5 minutes!)…

Did the Tasmanian Devil organize some of your students’ folders? Try these super quick tips to help them get things together:

1. Gather and align everything
2. Sort into notes, homework, tests
3. Organize by date
4. Do this once a week

What if they aren’t titled or dated? Well, that’s for another post!
