Early February Reflection

Parents and Students,

It's that time in winter when we've started third quarter and feel exhausted-- from the winter weather, from the school work, etc. February vacation is on the horizon and we have some important work to accomplish leading up to it.

As I reflect on my classes, I am enormously proud of the growth I am seeing. As an example, I had students earlier today explain proofs they had written on triangle similarities. As I said in class, these are not easy nor are they obvious. They take some real analysis to get right! And boy, the students shined!!! I was very impressed and pleased, especially when I think back to this fall when we were just beginning "the climb" of proofs and analysis.

Bravo, students! And remember, "the best is yet to be". [Tennyson]
