Geometry Gems

Remember, the majority of our classroom information is now available through our Google Classroom. Almost everyone has joined the class (congratulations go to Second Hour for being the first class to have 100% enrollment!) but there are a couple stragglers who still need to check their school email for the invitation link. Otherwise, please make sure to stay up to date on our weekly assignment which was posted yesterday at noon and make contact with your teachers! The major update for this week: No Google Meets! Check with your teachers what that means for your Engagement credit moving forward; I included the new directions in this morning’s announcement in Google Classroom.

Also, don’t forget that Mrs. Karazim still has office hours for students who want a bit of extra support. The directions for that are posted on her blog, so go check them out!

We have officially moved over to our new GoogleClassroom! Most of us have already joined the class, but there’s a couple who still need to check their school emails and accept the invitation for each hour, so please get on that stat! More details can be found on the Classroom itself, but highlights include: make meaningful contact with your teachers at least once a week and complete the weekly assignments by Friday morning.

This week’s assignment is all about Geometry in Your Home and focuses on reinforcing our understanding and mastery of specific geometric vocabulary.

Anyone who wants some additional support during this time can also reach out to Ms. Karazim. She is very reachable by email and will also be trying to host a weekly GoogleHangout of her own each Tuesday from 9-10 at night starting this week. The link to that Hangout can be found on her Geometry Intervention blog.

Monday, April 13: Welcome back from “Spring Break”! Hopefully everyone is still safe and healthy, let’s make sure that we’re following the proper procedures to stay that way too. For now, I’ve only got two things for you: if you haven’t done so yet, please make sure that you respond to the survey about EnVision in the previous post on April 1; also, there’s a new discussion prompt on EnVision, so please head on over there when you get a chance to read and respond! As always, if you are struggling with anything, please reach out, we are still here to help you as best as we can!

Tuesday, April 14: If you haven’t done so yet, please respond the to survey from April 1 and yesterday’s discussion prompt on EnVision. I love reading your responses and finding out what y’all have been up to. I wish EnVision allowed me to respond to your comments directly but I’m really interested to find out what some of you have been cooking/baking and bingeing on Netflix.

Wednesday, April 15: I just went through and responded to as many of you as possible on the Discussion board. EnVision doesn’t allow me to reply directly, so I broke it down individually in a new comment. If you get the chance, answer and reply as well! As a side note, I’m keeping the EnVision assignments from before break open until the end of this week for a few of us who were having trouble getting them to work. Remember, EnVision is having some trouble with Chrome currently, so either try a different browser or have a lot of patience if you are one of the students that it doesn’t seem to be working for right now.

Thursday, April 16: Happy Thursday all! Still looking for a number of people in each hour to respond to that EnVision Discussion prompt from Monday!

Friday, April 17: Keep an eye on your email today/this weekend. To try and keep everything as organized and simple as possible for everyone, I’m listening to a few students’ suggestions and going to be creating a Google Classroom for each hour. I’ll be “inviting” your school account once I get them set up. All of our assignments for the rest of the semester will be posted on there. If you’ve got any questions, I’m available via email!
