Today I learned a few things about angles and types of them. Another thing I learned is more about my fellow classmates through the activity's we did. The last thing I learned is more about Me. Harris, through his website of course, like he has a YouTube channel!

I found that different types of angles like acute and obtuse were interesting. I also found the group graphing activity interesting when we did it outside

Why was this class 3-4 hours long?

I leaned that you can't have any bad graphics on your mask you also have to have the mask over you nose and mouth and they're more rules on bathroom restrictions. I like that we are able to ge out side and be able to take off the mask in geometry. Also this class should be fun and hands on. When you said we will be able to "build" what do you mean by that? Thatnk for the great first day and I hope it gets better from here

Phones are not allowed to be out of your bag during this class. Mr. Harris' class is very close to the entrance that I use in the high school. Mr. Harris has an interesting and unique bathroom policy. We do activities outside during breaks. Mr. Harris puts his shakes in powerade bottles, which took me a second to realized since the shakes are green and...look similar to mold. How are your kids doing?

I learned today how to tell the teacher that you are using the bathroom with the hand sanitizer bottle. I also learned that using your phone in class destroys your grades and you fall back in class by a lot so that’s why teachers don’t let you use your phone. Another one is that the teachers in school aren’t really teaching you for jobs now they are teaching you for jobs later witch is kinda weird to think about. A thing I find interesting is that Mr Harris cross country skis which I also cross country and park ski witch is so much fun. A question I still have is that what do we do if some ones still in the bathroom for like 15mins and someone else has to go bad?

But one main thing we learned today was the no phone rule and why it is so important to have your phone put away during class. As we watched the video about how things are estimated to increase in social media and electronic I found it interesting how far ahead they estimate. Another interesting thing is how much social media is predicted to grow. I still have a question about how often we will be going outside?
