The Class

The students are very well behaved. They ask to leave the room, ask to come in the room and always stand when a teacher enters or leaves the room. Before class they stand up and say "Good Morning Teacher!" and some classes say "Thank you for teaching us teacher" as I leave.

I did a geometry lesson today to see what their level was. 7th grade struggles with geometry a lot (expected) and 9th grade did just fine. I had them find the volume of a sphere using only a string and ruler. They had to find the perimeter to find the radius to find the volume. 9th grade had no problem but 7th couldnt figure out how to find the radius when given the perimeter in the equation P=2(PI)(radius). Now I know where to start from.

  1. Hi Carrie,

    Glad to hear from you. Sounds like the students are about at US level. Which school do you get to teach for?

    Have you been able to go shopping? Have you found a yarn store and do they have any different kinds of yarn?

    Hope you have time to give us lots more detail about what you are doing.

    love aunt pat
