WOW it's COLD!

What can I say?  If you don't like the cold then why live in Wisc/Minn?

This has been a busy week at school for my students, especially my Enriched Geometry students.  They have be working hard to finish Ch 5 and prepare for Friday's test.  We spent two class periods in the computer lab with Geogebra.  The students are getting to know the program quite well and can use it as a powerful learning tool.  Technology is great (when it's working) and can enhance any curriculum.  I'll try to post some of the things we have created with geogebra...

I have to make more time to update this blog...see you soon.

The Start of a New Year (2009)

Welcome Back!

2009 is upon us and I am excited to get back to teaching.   I hope you all had a good break, I know I did!

Anyone make a New Year's Resolution?  Have you kept it so far?  Resolutions are like goals.  Most people who make them end up falling short of their goals for one reason or another.  Let's take some time to make some goals for our classes and help each other meet the goals.

Talk to you soon!
