Welcome to our 8th Grade Math Class

This is my fifth year teaching math at Reynolds.  Prior to that, I taught fifth grade for many years.  I'm a big New York Yankees and Philadelphia Eagles fan!

Supplies needed:

- Binder; One inch, three rings

- five section dividers

- three ring pencil case with 5 pencils and extra erasers

- You do NOT need to purchase a calculator.  I have them in class.  If you prefer to have your own, I suggest getting a TI-34.

I've often found that instead of obsessing over the things I can't change, I try to focus on what I can change:  My Mindset, My Energy and My Attitude!

“If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning.”  Carol Dweck
