I'm so excited and honored to be your teacher this year.  This is my ninth year at Canyon, and it's my 20th 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.
