I'm so excited and honored to be your teacher this year. This is my eighth year at Canyon, and it's my 19th year teaching overall. I love the energy and thinking of 6th graders and know we can SOAR far together. I look forward to guiding and sharing in your discoveries.
We will be exploring math concepts based on the beliefs that...
EVERYONE can learn math at the highest levels
Depth is more important than speed
Mistakes make your brain grow
Questions are really important
Math is about connections and communication
Math is about creativity and making sense
Math class is about learning, not performing -- and definitely not just about accumulating points towards a grade!
Throughout the year, we will focus on showing what you UNDERSTAND and can EXPLAIN, Math class is not just about giving right answers. I’m here to help--I know you can be successful.
NOTE: I don't post/update information on this website. Class materials (including the e-book), assignments, helpful links, and announcements will be posted on Google Classroom starting mid-August.
PARENTS--make sure you can log in to Google Classroom as your child so you can stay connected and see exactly what class and homework is assigned.
