Mr. Barna's Algebra class gathered real-time data as they made conjectures about how many rubber bands create a successful Barbie bungee jump in this hands-on activity to explore Linear Regression, helping students engage in cognitively complex tasks! @BTHSDragons @BrickSupt

Today our Algebra 1 class estimated how many rubber bands it would take for Barbie to reach the stairwell using a graphing calculator and finding the line of best fit! They all go extremely close! #Algebra #Barbie

Students had a great time solving equations in this group activity. It was refreshing watching them help one another and get excited when they solved the equations correctly! @BTHSDragons #Algebra #academicteaming

Can’t wait to start your book @JayGlazer!

GANG… let’s get real with each other. I am going to be an open book on socials with you all about my #mentalhealth. The highs and lows, I am going to show it all because the gray is a fucked-up place but if we walk this walk together, we can get it together.

Today I got to listen to my favorite author speak about his journey and inspirations in life. Thank you @davidbaldacci! It was a wonderful time hearing your story. I never got to ask my question, but I wanted to tell you that your books led to my love for reading.

[Paul Barna @PaulBarnaJr]

This is one of the most impactful lessons that I have learned in my 14 years of teaching. It also only comes from experience, learning from failures, and truly listening to the students.

Daily question that we should all ask ourselves...How will I change my environment today: 1. Create a new problem. 2. Put a band-aid on an existing problem. 3. Be a problem solver. #growthmindset #problemsolving
