Day 1

Setting the tone!  I have set the tone for a great year!  I informed my students that the rule for my class is RESPECT.  My students eyes lit up.  The look on their faces was a look of amazement that I would respect them.  It instantly set the tone of a room full of young adults, not a group of teenagers still being told what to do.  #2

We started our first instructional day.  I asked students to answer questions about angles and precision in their measurement.  The students were able use their background knowledge to write complete sentences which helped my students to realize that they could define a few of the tems we will be using this semester.  #7 #8 (mathematical practice - 6)
