I know that we weren't able to experience a normal spring break, but hopefully, everyone was able to take a step back and relax a little bit during our week away from school. Like many of you, I was able to spend some extra time with my family. I was also able to get some things done around the house, bake, and go on a few runs. It's definitely been a change from the normal routine, but my family and I are doing our best to stay active and positive during these uncertain times.
What Is Expected from Honors Geometry Students?
As of today, we can expect to continue our virtual learning through April 24th, unless we hear otherwise from our governor. This is longer than we had initially anticipated, and we must all do our best within our current changed circumstances. At this point, I have been told that our class will continue to run according to our usual North schedule. This means that during a "normal week", we will have our Honors Geometry class Monday through Thursday. Students are expected to complete the following:
- Complete the Honors Geometry attendance form each day by 3pm
- See the agenda for the day. At this point, I plan on creating an announcement on BlackBoard and sending an e-mail through Infinite Campus with the daily tasks for the day.
- View the notes video and/or attend a live lesson session. The time for the live lesson session will be listed within the daily agenda. To begin with, I will schedule our live lesson for this week at 10am each day. As other teachers and classes develop routines, I am flexible in changing this time, as needed.
- Complete the assigned daily homework.
- Ask questions! I am here to help. At this point, my official office hours are from 9-11am, but I am available at other points throughout the day by appointment. Just ask! Questions can be asked through WebEx teams, via email, or the assignments listed on Class Kick.
- Be flexible and ask for what you need! We are all navigating a new virtual learning system and we are all trying to figure this out. Please let me know what you need! I am here to support you and your learning through this time.
Wrapping Up Unit 9: Circles
On Monday, students will be responsible for completing the attendance form and the unit 9 review assignment on circles. This assignment can be completed either through the Reveal website or through Class Kick. I will host a live session at 10am to answer questions. Otherwise, students can leave questions for me throughout the day in our WebEx teams room or via email.
On Tuesday, students will be responsible for completing the attendance form and the unit 9 summative assessment on circles. Barring any technical difficulties, students should expect to complete this assessment through the Reveal website. Since this is a new format for assessments, students are welcome to ask clarifying questions during the summative, either via email or WebEx teams.
On Wednesday, we will begin our unit on area. First of all, students need to complete the attendance form on Blackboard. Then, students can either choose to attend the live lesson session at 10am or view the video lesson on how to find the area of parallelograms and triangles. Students will need to complete the homework assignment and formative assessment on BlackBoard.
On Thursday, we will continue our area study and focus on finding the area of kites, rhombuses, and kites. Students will start the day by completing the attendance form on Blackboard. Then, students can either choose to attend the live lesson session at 10am or view the video lesson. Students will need to complete the homework assignment and formative assessment on BlackBoard.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions! I am here for you!
