Homecoming Week!

This week is the mother of all interruptions. I have never seen students so active on a Monday! I will be busy giving tests for Algebra II and Geometry, good luck with that. Also, my mentor will get to observe me in my Connections class. I was so glad today when my principal brought me a document camera, since my Promethean Board's been broken. Then I remembered, "oh yeah, the board doesn't work because the projector is broken", and that is also why I won't be able to use the camera! Oh well, I'll live with the markerboard for now. Great football win over the Dragons! Good luck with the Owls this week. Go Lions!!!

TGIF!

This was a long week, but we made it! I don't know how much my students learned with all the testing and classroom disruptions, but I am optimistic. Is buying class rings more important than learning algebra? I think not! Oh well, we'll get used to all the drama eventually. I can't wait 'til parent teacher conferences! Another week down at Hamburg High School.

Target Testing!

I gave my interim assessment for Algebra II today. I think my students did fairly well. I'm just glad to finally get those sections over with. Now we can move on! Football at Fordyce tomorrow. Good luck lions, and boot those bugs! Also, parent teacher conferences next week. I can't wait. I hope I get to talk to a lot of parents. Overall, today was a great day in teaching.

Busy Buzzing Bees

Great rival win over Crossett goes to the Lions!

This is a busy week for the students as well as myself. My Algebraic Connections classes already took their tests yesterday and today, my Algebra II has a test Thursday, and my Geometry class is getting a hefty quiz for Thursday. Best of luck to all!

Go Hamburg!

                                                                                                          

Today was a great day at HHS. The students got recognized with checks for their great achievements on last year's advance placement tests. Governor Beebe, a state senator, and many other school representatives came to witness this event. From 2006, when there were no passing scores, to last year's fifty-four, Hamburg High School has witnessed a great improvement.

Welcome to my teaching blog!

Welcome everyone! If you don't already know me, my name is Adam Wade. I have been married to my amazing wife Casey for four years. She is the whole reason I started teaching. This is my first year to teach, and I am teaching High School Mathematics in Hamburg, Arkansas. These first two weeks have been excellent. I am teaching on block A/B days, which has been very interesting. I have struggled some to get adjusted, but the reward is well worth it. Teaching only three classes a day is just fine with me. Overall, I am looking forward to an exciting year in the education of my students, as well as myself.
