Well, we're halfway through the semester and I have already slacked off on keeping up with my blog. I am really disappointed in myself, because as I told the parents, "if I don't have anything interesting to blog about each week, then I haven't done my job." I feel a little defeated in that I haven't done a good job of doing some exciting things each week, but I WILL improve!
Most of my students are headed to Washington D.C. tomorrow and a small group of us are headed to field trips in the DFW area. Their assignment is to take a picture, write about the math in the picture, and create a word problem from the picture. We discussed examples of ideas today and I am really excited to see what the students come up with because they had such great ideas today! Hopefully I will end up with a fabulous collection of photos and problems we can use the rest of the year.
