Here We Go Again

I can't believe that summer is over and the new school year is about to start (my kids come back this Wednesday)!!!!  Of course I didn't get anywhere near finished with all the projects that I wanted to do this summer.  Oh well.  Maybe next summer.

I feel like my teaching world has been turned upside down this year.  We are under construction at school, I've moved across campus, and I'm teaching 3 classes of 9th grade Algebra 1.  I haven't taught 9th grade in about 8 years, so this might be interesting.  Luckily my Alg. 1 team is easy to work with.  My only problem is that I feel like the team mom.  How did this happen?  When did I go from the 'baby' teacher to the experienced one?????  This is definitely a new season in my career; I only hope that I'm up for the challenges.

One of the things I did accomplish this summer was to spend some time working on revamping my first two units of Honors Alg. 2.  In my rambling internet searches and through looking over the things available on TPT I've run into some examples of Doodle Notes that people seem to like.  I don't know if I'll love these, but I figured I'd give them a shot.  The only problem is I found LOTS for Alg. 1, but not much for an Honors Alg. 2 level.  I opened up Word and decided to try making my own.  These are a few samples of what I came up with.  Granted they aren't as fancy as a lot of the things I've seen online.  Sometimes I have to step outside of my comfort zone slowly, but for a first attempt I'm ok with what I came up with.  Now we'll just have to see how well they work with my students.
