Here it is - The start of school again.  The weather was terrific - rainy and cool.  A huge change compared to what we were growing weary of - hot and hot.  I am looking forward to a great year.  I hope to blog weekly if not daily.  I am hoping to keep the schedule of homework up-to-date weekly.  You will be able to see the plan for the week either here or on classroll.com.  I want this blog to

I was hoping to post sooner than today but getting back into the routine was rockier than I expected. So, here we are with the first nine weeks complete. It was fairly uneventful and the students are really great. The halls seem less tense this year this year. I asked the students if they noticed - some did and some didn't - Maybe it's just me. Parent/Teacher conference went well. I met a

I was surprised that you guys could do this. I think its cool. I love this picture because it shows parallel lines and transversals AND it has some great kids too. Don't you love this quadrilateral push-up?

We (me, Mr. O, Mrs. S, Mr. S, Mrs. L, Mrs. D) arrived in town about 5:30pm and checked into our hotel which is super close to everything. It's located in Chinatown. We ate at a new restaurant called Vapiano's. It was really fun. This is how their website describes themselves. "Vapiano is a fast casual restaurant with a twist - customers use a "chip card" to personally

Most of you know that I'm attending my brother's wedding. We have made to Albuquerque, NM at it's pretty early in the morning. I expect all of ya'll to treat Mrs. D with the greatest respect. Please check the calendar for details of your assignments. This is for you A.B. (7th hour) - For extra credit, I would like you to teach a trig lesson. Start reading your textbook to figure it out.

After telling my students about this blog and the calendar, I've realized that I can easily communicate with them while I'm gone for a few days. I can add new content or modify their assignments based on any feedback I receive from them. I can tell them what I'm doing each day at the math conference in Washington D.C. and about any exciting new stuff for the classroom. I can't wait to see

I've been undecided on how to use this blog. I really like the interactive calendar so I'm going to pursue the use of it as a planner for my students. I believe this blog can be used as a communication tool for me and my students. Wish me luck.

This is the perspective of a High School Senior after watching the video "Life and Debt". It was the story of Jamaica's financial crisis after their independence. I asked them what they thought about the situation and what were some ideas to make things better. Please do not look at the mistakes but look at his ideas. This is what K.S. said, "I think the Jamaican government should
