My life belongs to Him. Adding Sparkle wherever I go. 180 Days @ NHS. Saturday, August 1, 2015. I already wrote about how the relationships I built before TMC totally changed my experience this year. But I didn't really go into specifics on what I learned and how I want to implement new things in the coming year. Here's a mini recap:. I was in the Desmos. After that, I went to Heather Kohn's session Learning Math, Learning English, or Learning Both? In the Desmos session, we played with Polygraph. Glenn ...

My life belongs to Him. Adding Sparkle wherever I go. 180 Days @ NHS. Wednesday, November 12, 2014. Writing in Math Class. At first, I said write a paragraph without much guidance, and I quickly learned they needed a few more manageable steps. I asked them to annotate their pictures first because that seemed doable to them. From there it was easy for them to form sentences because they already had their information in front of them. Like anything, they needed some practice with this, but they began to fi...

My life belongs to Him. Adding Sparkle wherever I go. 180 Days @ NHS. Saturday, March 7, 2015. HOW DO I MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND! I was teaching solving trig equations at the beginning of the semester, and the kids just were not getting it. There was probably some issue with me diving in too deep too quickly, but the kids were not trying their hardest to understand either. I was fed up and out of ideas to help them understand.

My life belongs to Him. Adding Sparkle wherever I go. 180 Days @ NHS. Friday, May 16, 2014. All I could think on Monday was, "Why didn't people warn me about how hard teaching is? But loving teenagers unconditionally is a frightful place when you know heartache is a possibility. Thankfully I waited until Tuesday to talk to the class he was in; I didn't cry, but it was close. It's a love that makes my heart hurt when they are hurting and rejoice when they are rejoicing. It has helped me understand how...

I went to TMC 13. With two of my coworkers. I'm shy (at first, get to know me and watch out), so I pretty much stuck to them the whole time. I met very few new people. TMC 14. Community, so I didn't.
