Day Off

Today was my day off from work because Mr Sperling had a "articulation meeting." This is where the local area school math teachers talk to the local high school math teachers about placement. They go over what they all are teaching in 8th grade and what is to be expected by high school teachers when they move up. After we went over to Mr Sperling's house to talk about how LFCDS's math movement plan was going to change. They are adding more levels of difficulty and this new system will make it so they can challenge more kids rather then having a group of kids who are not challenged academically at all. It was a short day and a nice one. No pictures were taken so this is a pretty boring post. Tomorrow will be a good day because I will be teaching the 7th grade honors course the concept of simplifying ration expressions. It is a tough thing to teach, but with the day off, I have managed to create some good tactics. Wish me luck!
