PD 8: 2013-2014 Grade 9 Algebra

This class had a lot of action. I am glad my classroom had some cell-phone coverage because it made for some interesting situations throughout the year. Some people in here were just clueless when it came to stuff like that... as if my corrective lenses were malfunctioning...

Most of the class was pretty bright and did great on the regents exam. Many made me proud with the level of effort. There were a couple that tried to bring the class down thinking their lives were just too important compared to the others in the room that wanted to learn and/or succeed. I believe I successfully taught around their enormous egos though.
​
If you were in this class... feel free to email me, I would love to see how you are doing. I wish the best to all of you - including the above mentioned uninterested. :)

*The only student whom requested to leave my class... ever. I officially don't make everyone happy. Insert tear.
**Sam was a great student of mine in IS 34, she joined in the Spring after rejecting private school... as many should. Bravo! :)
