3rd year off to a good start

well, i haven't written in a while. i spent the last 2 weeks of summer vacation riding (DH/FR) in british columbia. what an amazing way to end my summer! here are a few shots (one of the shuttle truck and one sort of action photo):




as far as my 3rd year of teaching, things have gotten off to a great start. as usual, there are things that i have improved on, things i continue to do, and things that have changed.

new things for this year so far:

• i'm teaching geometry for the first time ever
  
• i am focusing on implementing vocabulary strategies in class
  
• as a math team, we are focusing on student transfer of math skills to contextualized problems
  
• i have my students on an email distribution list as another form of communication
