I have begun to make some changes!! I am feeling less stressed about making sure to "cover" all the material and focusing my energy on making sure students are mastering the objectives. The first step in my journey has been to assign a project for students where they will choose an everyday object, take it apart to see how the parts function to make the whole. Geometry is about the study of the relationships and students often miss the relationships of the parts of a figure. It is my hope students will become intrigued by this project at least enough to stay engaged. I need to design a rubric for this project I don't have much experience with grading projects but I hope to get better.
Snow is in the air, I hope we only have a delay in the morning rather than a snow day!
