MATH with                                       Mrs. Hurst

Just a little info about Mrs. Hurst:

Hello! I may not have grown up in the Pepperell area, but since we moved to Lindale in 2015, I am a Dragon from here on out.

My experience: I have been teaching for 30 years in grades pre-K to 5th from reading to math, and don't forget science and social studies. I've co-written a life skills curriculum, mentored new teachers, taught life skills to students from kindergarten through 5th grade, and mentored students in a variety of clubs and teams (before/after-school tutoring, science club, math club, and math team). Why am I sharing this? I want you to know that I work extremely hard for my students and have high expectations for your kiddos because I know they CAN learn, CAN do, and CAN achieve anything. 

Why am I a teacher? As a child, I hated math and struggled in elementary school (mainly 5th and 9th grades). So why does that make me an awesome math teacher??? I-GET-IT! I understand what it's like to be frustrated, to struggle, and to want to know, "WHY do I have to learn this?" I know mistakes have to be made to learn, and the "end" result is what matters the most. I believe that math is a series of stepping stones. We all get to the end of the path, but some of us have to take more steps while others skip ahead.
