Contacts!

Spread the good news, I got Contacts today and my very first pair of Sun Glasses! Yes, I am almost 26 years old and have never owned a pair of sun glasses that didn't attach to my eye glasses. I will post pictures when I can!

Happy PI Day!

So, March 14th is the official Pi day for math geeks around the world. It is also Albert E's birthday. To celebrate this math holiday I had my students bring in pie to share. They also decorated a quilt square for my first Pi day quilt. One of the talented ladies I work with offered to do all the actual sewing for the quilt. I'm so excited to see the finished project. I'll share pictures as soon as I get one.

Some other great teacher news, three of my super students took first place in the bottle rocket launch this week out of ALL the Science classes! I am so proud of them! I wish I had something to do with it, but I'm just the silly Math teacher.

Do me a favor and wish someone a happy Pi day and educate the world about 3.14!

Rick Lavoie

I had the amazing opportunity to attend a free workshop by Rick Lavoie on Thursday, March 5th. For those of you in education he wrote the movie documentary called FAT City. Those of you not in education, the man is a genius and a huge advocate for students with special needs. I was star struck watching him speak to us (from the second row) about motivating our students who lack internal motivation. I also stayed for the second seminar for parents, and I got a lot of great information about how to approach parents. I left that night rejuvenated and ready to teach my ass off! I am determined to be the best teacher a kid could ask for.
