The halt of the schoolhouse twelvemonth is CRAZY.  And, it's definitely reflected inwards my blogging or lack thereof.  During my pupil pedagogy experiences, I never actually got to experience the lastly few weeks of school.  Our finals were ever over long before the local middle schools together with high schools released for summer.  We convey 7 days left of schoolhouse together with ane professional person evolution solar daytime left before summer.  I'm having a actually difficult fourth dimension comprehending the fact that I am close finished alongside my get-go twelvemonth of teaching.  Where inwards the Blue Planet has this twelvemonth gone???   

EOI tests are over.  And, I'm incredibly thankful for that fact!  My Algebra 1 together with Algebra 2 students did extremely well.  I am incredibly proud of them together with what they convey accomplished this schoolhouse year.  I convey a reflective blog shipping service inwards the works on this topic. 

I'm pretty certain that if I sat downwards together with wrote 49 to a greater extent than weblog posts this evening, I *might* experience caught upwards on this blog.  There are together with then many lessons together with funny quotes together with experiences that I desire to percentage alongside everybody.  I simply need more time.  Hopefully, I volition live able to carve out the fourth dimension for that this summer.  But, it looks similar my summertime is already filling upwards alongside workshops together with trainings together with church building activities. 

My students together with I are becoming addicted to origami.  We've went through close 500 pieces of origami newspaper inwards the lastly 2 weeks.  During EOI testing, our schedules were crazy.  I would come across to a greater extent than or less course of report periods together with non others.  And, fifty-fifty if I saw a course of report period, at that spot were ever a few students who were absent or testing.  I decided that I would purpose this fourth dimension to innovate my students to origami.  One or 2 of my classes experimented with making cubes from sonobe units before this year.  But, this was the get-go fourth dimension for many of my students to consummate an origami project.   (I gauge nosotros did make origami envelopes before this year, though.)

I did convey a few students who figured out that origami wasn't their thing.  So, I gave students the selection betwixt creating an origami model or completing 8 KenKen puzzles.  I did convey to a greater extent than or less students opt to consummate the KenKen puzzles.  Some students fifty-fifty did both.     

Even though most of my students convey been taking their origami projects habitation alongside them, I convey withal managed to collect this many origami projects on my desk.  I intend they're multiplying!
