The Blended Bulletin

Sensory Stickers

I work at a middle school. Believe me when I say the math anxiety in the classroom is real.

It seems like I can’t go a day without torn up pages from the work book or broken pencils sprinkled across my floor like the educational equivalent of bacon bits on salad.

Cue last week, I put some of these sensory stickers on the students desks. And I was shocked. I didn’t have stickers left by the end of the week but my floors were more or less clean.

These stickers surprisingly worked at helping the students self soothe. Now if I could just figure out locations for the stickers that would make it hard for them to peel them off.

Hi, I’m Ms.R, a brand new middle school math teacher. Like many of you, I’ve stood in front of classrooms holding a textbook I know has value, while also seeing the incredible potential of digital tools to engage and differentiate. I realized the most powerful classroom isn’t one that chooses between traditional and digital—it’s one that thoughtfully blends them and focuses on a growth mindset in the midst of the tools. That’s why I created The Blended Bulletin. This blog is a resource for fellow math educators who want to harness the best of both worlds. Here, we explore practical strategies for using the structure of a textbook alongside the dynamic power of platforms like Khan Academy, IXL, Desmos, and more, as we work towards building confident critical thinkers of the future. My goal is to provide you with a bulletin of ideas, resources, and strategies that you can use in your classroom tomorrow. I’m so glad you’re here and joining me on this journey.
