Alive...
To all of y'all who receive got been wondering, I desire to assure y'all that I am even then alive. Seriously, though, the fact that closed to of y'all took the fourth dimension to banking concern fit upwards on me actually meant a lot to me. If you've sent me an email as well as I haven't responded, sorry! I'm working on getting caught up, but it's taking me longer than I expected.
I could blame my lack of blogging of belatedly on a lot of unlike things. But, I recall what it actually boils downwards to is that the showtime twelvemonth of instruction is overwhelming. I knew going inwards that this twelvemonth was going to live crazy. I but didn't know inwards what ways that craziness was going to acquaint itself.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lot of materials has happened inwards my schoolhouse district that I can't as well as shouldn't beak almost on this populace blog. And, that's been difficult on me. I desire this weblog to live a transparent as well as truthful reflection of what life inwards my classroom is like. Every schoolhouse is different, as well as every teacher's circumstances are different. Even though I already knew that, I receive got learned that this twelvemonth from experience. My classroom is non perfect. My instruction is far from perfect. And, my schoolhouse district is non perfect.
However, I shouldn't allow myself halt blogging because I can't enjoin y'all the whole story. That would live unfair to both y'all as well as me. I larn a lot almost myself from the human activity of blogging. There is something almost magical almost putting one's thoughts, feelings, as well as experiences into words. When I write almost a lesson, I encounter it through a unlike lens. And, that helps me to larn from my successes as well as failures inwards club to boot the bucket a improve teacher. So, I promise. I'm going to keep blogging my lessons as well as reflections.
So, what receive got I been upwards to?
Algebra 1 has journeyed through linear inequalities, systems of equations, as well as percentage of a unit of measurement on simplifying radicals. Algebra ii has focused on logarithms, sequences as well as series, as well as we're preparing to start on conic sections tomorrow. And, my math analysis students receive got been working alongside one-to-one functions as well as logarithms. We examination over logarithms tomorrow, but I'm non certain what the hereafter holds for that grouping of students. The adjacent chapter inwards our textbook is matrices. I'm thinking it may live fun to accept a intermission as well as explore closed to discrete math, though.
Pi Day was a scrap of a disappointment. Two days earlier Pi Day, I started feeling terrible. My breadbasket started hurting, as well as I solely felt okay when I was asleep. I barely made it to schoolhouse on Pi Day. Seriously, it felt similar I was dying. Our amazing counselor came as well as checked on me half-way through the morn as well as suggested that I boot the bucket dwelling identify because I did non facial expression well. I took her advice. I ended upwards spending 5 hours inwards urgent care. They hold upwards ruled out appendicitis. But, they sent me to the emergency room when they could non render me alongside a diagnosis. The er doc told me I had a breadbasket bug, as well as I needed to but boot the bucket dwelling identify as well as rest. I'm non certain if that diagnosis was accurate or not. But, I produce know that I spent almost all of Spring Break sleeping as well as resting.
We returned from Spring Break for a four-day week. Our emphasis has turned to EOI review. My students currently receive got solely 10 to a greater extent than schoolhouse days until our solid set down standardized testing takes place. I'll live honest. I'm nervous. My examination scores volition enjoin a story. I'm but non certain what story they volition live telling. For my Algebra 1 students, the stakes are high. If they don't pass, they may non graduate. My students can't afford that.
My students as well as I receive got worked extremely difficult this schoolhouse year. In both Algebra 1 as well as Algebra 2, I had to reteach a seat out of concepts that my students should receive got previously mastered. This agency that nosotros are non equally far inwards the curriculum equally I would receive got hoped to be. If y'all ask any of my students, they volition tell you that nosotros receive got non slacked off this schoolhouse year. Oh, they wanted me to, but I receive got non given in. They know that Ms. Hagan does non believe inwards complimentary days. And, Ms. Hagan does non believe inwards movies. (Of course, closed to students recall that I literally
I worry, though, almost my students who receive got missed so much school. I worry almost my students who scrap alongside reading at an unproblematic schoolhouse level. What volition their examination scores say? Will they create amount similar their difficult piece of occupation has paid off or volition they experience similar a failure? Will college live on their horizon? Or volition they start to contemplate dropping out of high school?
Questions. Questions I may never know the answers to. But, I volition non allow that proceed me from doing my project as well as changing lives.
