It's only been 3 days, and I'm exhausted!

Students came back to school this week, but not until Wednesday.  That means that I only saw them for 3 days and the beginning of school generally means going through routines (pretty general), but I AM EXHAUSTED!  I got home last night after junior high volleyball practice and then working the football gate, and I was asleep by about 9:30pm. 

While I'm tired, it was a good week.  And, I'm happy to report that I think incorporating the mathematical reflections on the photographs is going to be a success!  Friday, while describing the assignment in class, we got into some good discussions about whether or not the columns in a photograph were truly parallel because of the shape of the columns.  They also debated what might be the best term to describe the columns.  They weren't cylinders because the diameter changed throughout the column, but they weren't "shape" that would be. 

In another class, I got great participation and a wide spectrum of ideas, all about the same photograph.  Needless to say, I'm excited!!!

Now it's on to less exciting things like taking recycling to the drop-off, scrubbing my floors, and trying to get my apartment super clean!  Because I know it won't happen again until the end of October when volleyball season is complete!  Hope you all have a good weekend!
