Last night I sent out a call for HELP! I could not for the life of me figure out how to make my documents look pretty enough to share. So many wonderful ladies answered my question. Because of you guys I was able to concur the beast named creativity. Below is a preview of what I've come up with so far. I'm SUPER EXCITED about this and can't wait to finish up my Math Journal Unit to share with everyone. BEWARE this is my first draft so some things WILL change before I finish everything up.
