My first blog post for the 2025-2026 school year is to say a big “Thank you” to all the parents and students who joined me for meet the teacher tonight. It was a huge success.
The three main topics of discussion tonight were:
- Email is the best form of contact: [email protected]
- This blog is where I will post plans for the week, updated as needed. brownj.wonecks.net. Please subscribe to his blog for updated notifications.
- Bluebonnet!! The new curriculum. I tried to explain how this is a non-traditional curriculum that doesn’t follow the standard “lesson-practice-homework-quiz-test” model. Rather it is based on real world situations and involve questioning, analyzing, compare/contrast, etc. to discover the mathematical principals being taught. We especially discussed the idea of “productive struggle”. We will all struggle, but eventually, we’ll get there.
I am very much looking forward to this school year. Go Roughnecks!!
