I began teaching at 164 on December 22nd of this year. I am taking over for an existing teacher in Math for the 8th grade. You can check the link here to understand more about the kids I will be working with at this school. On wednesday I gave the kids an interactive assignment involving CD's and two CD Plans. Of these two plans the kids had to choose the one they would most like to join. Since I only had 45 Minutes with this class they are about half way thorough the lesson. The kids went to work right away on this lesson and seemed excited about the subject. Each group was able to complete the task correctly. Woohoo! On Wednesday the kids were given an assessment by me to see how they comprehended the multiplication of decimals. It is clear that we will have to re-visit the decimal issue at the beginning of the year.

The administration, the staff, and my fellow teachers have been very supportive! As required I am very sick at the time of this writing--seems that all teachers must get the latest germs when they arrive at a school so I am off to the doctor.
