Welcome to My Class
-
Welcome back, Falcons! We are soaring in an unfamiliar sky, but the good news is: we are in it together!
We have made amazing progress exploring geometry this year, and I am committed to continue to provide meaningful learning experiences. Nature has thrown us a curve ball, so let's be flexible, open-minded, positive, and patient with one another. If we do, then I believe we will come out of this better human beings.
"The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in the storm." -Confucius
Priorities
-
Be Patient These times present new learning for most of us. Be patient with yourself, your family, your friends, and your teachers.
Be Compassionate Everybody is experiencing COVID-19 differently; for some, much more severely than others. Remember, we don't know everyone's story.
Be Watchful If you know another student is struggling, reach out to a teacher or counselor. If you know something, say something.
Be Appropriate This is still school! Inappropriate interactions with digital learning can lead to consequences.
Be Open Some of us will have more on our plate during this time than others. Communicate when you feel overwhelmed; your teachers will be understanding.
Be Safe Your health and the health of your loved ones is the most important. Do what it takes to ensure safety; it's your number one priority!
