- Teaching HS is much different than teaching MS.
- It is really nice walking into a building where I already know students and teachers
- What has been taught and how it was taught has a direct impact on what is currently being taught.
- There is a huge disconnect between Elementary, MS, and HS. I am not sure where the breakdown is occurring or why it happens (at no fault of any teacher -- I believe it is a systems thing!)
- I am missing my peeps at the MS but I do enjoy my current colleagues!
- I am really in love with Desmos Classroom Activities -- these activities get kids to actually think! And think hard! I have not heard one negative thing about them -- and I doubt I do!
I am excited about this new change because after hearing and contemplating about Dan Meyer's Math Class Needs a Makeover -- I have madeover my math class and am loving it!
We even did a Breakout Edu session today! The kids loved it! I am looking forward to creating a review using these ideas for the next unit.
I am noticing it is starting off to be a good year!
