Over the past week and a half, Algebra 1 has done a number of things to prepare for the challenges that will come throughout the year. We have discussed the positive assets that EVERY student brings to our math class. Through our first quote of the week, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid," we have learned that every person brings something positive to our group and it is our responsibility to learn what that positive role is and how we can each learn from each other.
