Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year, Honors Geometry Students!

Hello Honors Geometry Students! Welcome to the 2020-2021school year! My name is Mrs. Kamenar and I will be working with you during your Honors Geometry class this year. This year, I am starting my 16th year teaching math and computer science at Waukesha North. This year I will be teaching Honors Geometry, App Development 1 & 2, AP Computer Science A, Programming the Web 1 & 2, and Yearbook. In addition to teaching, I am also the head women's cross country coach and yearbook advisor. I hope that everyone was able to find some time to relax this summer. While my family and I weren't able to do some of our usual summer activities, we still found a way to have fun and enjoy each others' company. Our summer included a few camping trips, lots of hiking, and playing with our new dog Ranger.

My goal is to keep you up to date with what's going on in the classroom through this blog. Between the blog and our class schedule of events that will be posted on our BlackBoard class website, it is my hope that all students and parents will be informed about what's going on in the classroom whether we are learning virtually or face-to-face.

Where Can Students Find Everything?

One of the first things to keep in mind is that all of our class material will be found through our Blackboard class website.  When students are learning virtually or are not able to attend class, this is the first place to look.  This site will contain links to our content, assignments, and other resources.

How Is Attendance Taken?

On days that students are face-to-face, the teacher will complete the attendance process.  On days when students are learning virtually, students must check in their own attendance within the timeframe of our class period. To do this, students will need to log in to their accounts on Infinite Campus.  Here is a quick video that shows how to complete the attendance process: https://youtu.be/y2GlGugUjUI?t=346

Students who are assigned to Cohort 1 will meet face to face on Tuesdays and Thursdays and virtually on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  Students who are assigned to Cohort 2 will meet face to face on Wednesdays and Fridays and virtually on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. 

School Schedule

Here is the hybrid schedule that we will follow:  Students are expected to log in virtually during the time frame listed.  

Unit 1: The Basics of Geometry

This week, we will begin our study with the building blocks of Geometry.  Students will be introduced to some basic vocabulary terms that we will be using throughout the entire course.  We will also work on connecting Geometry back to Algebra when we discuss the segment and angle addition postulates.  

I know that the start of this school year looks very different from all other years.  I am here to help and I am very excited to work with you in Honors Geometry.  Please reach out if you have any questions.  You can email me at kkamenar@waukesha.k12.wi.us.  Have a great start to the school year!
