Introducing Myself and My Classroom: A Focus on Math, Kindness, and Community

Welcome to a new school year! My name is [Your Name], and I've spent 13 years at Tapp and now 4th year at McEachern. I'm passionate about helping students learn and grow through math and life skills. In my classroom, we will be solving problems, thinking critically, and supporting each other. I expect kindness and respect as we embark on this journey together. Get ready to use your mathematical toolbox and engage in exciting problem-solving activities. Remember, learning is a shared responsibility, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way!
