Welcome back to school! My name is Mrs. Kamenar and I will be working with you this year in your Honors Geometry class. This year I will begin my tenth year at Waukesha North. In my time here I have taught a variety of math and computer science classes. In addition to being a teacher, I am also an assistant women's cross country coach and the school's yearbook advisor.
I hope that everyone had a fun and relaxing summer vacation! This summer seemed to go by too fast, but I guess it always seems that way. I really enjoyed spending my summer with my three year old son, Jack. We got to spend a lot of time together going to the zoo, swimming, camping in the back yard, reading, and doing other fun things. My husband and I are expecting our second child at the end of September so I also spent a lot of time preparing for our new arrival. This means that I intend to take a leave of absence starting at the end of September and I plan to return in mid-November. Students will be working with another teacher while I am out of the building on maternity leave. So, we will have about four weeks to get to know each other before I take a leave of absence.
Since I am already talking about taking a leave of absence, we better start learning! This week we will begin our study of some basic geometric terms. We will ease into the year by talking about inductive reasoning and patterns. We will also talk about some of the basic building blocks of Geometry and their naming and labeling conventions. We will finish up the week by going over measurement and learning the properties of segment and angle addition.I am really excited to get to work with you this year. I hope we are all able to learn a lot and have some fun along the way! If you have any questions as we move through the year, please don't hesitate to contact me.
