Excitement for Math

What?  How can you be so excited for math?  Well, for one thing I am starting at an awesome district in southwestern Minnesota (Butterfield-Odin).  It's a new opportunity for sharing my love of math with how I struggled with math (I was considered too simple to understand programming by my math professor at MSU who worked with NASA). Secondly, in my last post I listed my summer goals, which I have accomplished 90% of them!!  I am now a Level 2 Google Certified Educator.  I've also learned, as I have been transitioned into this phase (not exactly a voluntary choice), to be excited for others and their accomplishments.  If for example, an acquaintance shares their enthusiasm for a dream job or moment, share in that celebration!  Kayla Delzer promotes, promotes, promotes this; just find @topdogteaching.  Another one to check up with is May Vang @vangmay1.  When you watch her talk on video, or read her blog, you would NOT guess she's been teaching for 30 years!
