Check out our Awesome Math Department!!

The Algebra 2 teachers have taken real-life applications HEAD ON into their instruction and found an awesome project to demonstrate quadratic functions!

Here is the project they are doing!

What an awesome way to build connections to games that our students enjoy! All the while, discussing Math!!

We should be incredibly proud of all the great work our departments are doing to integrate Common Core. I know that at times, it can feel very difficult, but the passion and dedication of this staff is truly inspiring!

Great work, Math!

Calling All English Teachers!

Today, I found a really cool site for English teachers. It is full of pre-made worksheets and activities that were created by an English teacher. They cover all types of aspects from English, including point of view, purpose, modes, and all kinds of other stuff!

Check it out!

Some are a little redundant, but I think for occasional usage, they're pretty great!

A Foreign Language Resource!

While I was googling today, I stumbled across a great resource for Foreign Language Teachers!

I have already posted a LiveBinder for the English department, and now I have one for Foreign Language. A quick recap--a Livebinder is a collection of websites and handouts on one website, similar to a binder in real life.

This one is full of great information for Foreign Language teachers.

Here it is!

I have been trying to keep an eye out for Math and Science resources because I know that they are hard to keep track of. Today, I found a great one!

The National Math and Science Initiative has a TON of great information! You should really check it out!

If you click "Resources," you can select a page for Free Lessons! They are really professional and in-depth! You can also check out some forums and open resources that people are adding to.

Happy planning!
