Changes

We are well underway into the school year. One thing that I've been noticing a lot since I've started working here is how things have been changing. I've changed my seating arrangement in my classroom a few different times this year already and there has been an overwhelming response of how many students don't like change. I know that we all get into our routines and like the structure, but sometimes change isn't a bad thing. It gives us the ability to see things from a different point of view. I think that it also helps us see how good/bad things were going and the ability to reflect upon those experiences. I've been reflecting a lot lately on how things are going in Algebra II. I know that there are several students who have been struggling and myself, and the other algebra teachers, are trying to make changes to help all students in algebra II. It has been quite the transition from the new curriculum and to not having a book. If at anytime a student would like to come in for extra help, not just Algebra II, I'm more than willing to answer questions. Math is a subject that isn't easily learned and needs practice to truly become a master at it. All I'm I'm asking is that the students take a step back and try to embrace that changes that are being implemented.
