Welcome to Math Academy in Room 330!

Math Academy is designed to support you in your current math class. We will be engaging in some fun learning activities that I think you will really enjoy! I understand that math is not everyone's favorite subject, but I hope to change that and make you feel more confident in math. I am excited to watch you grow and learn over these next few years. Everything is so new this year for everyone and I look forward to tackling the year with you!

A little about me:

My name is Jessica Abad. I am married to my wonderful husband, Austin, and we have four children. Our youngest child, Denver, was born this past February. Most of you may know my oldest daughter, Reese, who is starting high school this year (makes me want to cry!). My son, Grayson is a senior at OES and my step-daughter, Mia will be a virtual first grader in Florida. I also have 2 catahoula's and currently 9 puppies (anyone want one? ha!). I was born in Chicago, Illinois but spent most of my life in Wayne county. I graduated from Wayne County High school 🐝 , then attended Armstrong Atlantic State University where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Middle Grades Education. I am currently working on my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I will finish summer of 2021 and immediately begin working on my Specialist degree from Thomas University. 2020-2021 will begin my 12th year of teaching, and I am very excited to be teaching Math Academy. I have spent the last 8 years in 8th grade math so I am very fortunate to be able to support my students and have a thorough understanding of what they need to be successful. I am very passionate about teaching mathematics and watching my students learn and grow. I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, taking golf cart rides, and sitting under those Friday night lights watching the Yellow Jackets play. GO JACKETS! 🐝
