Welcome to my Math page!!

The students have settled into their school routines, all of the necessary benchmark testing has been completed and it is now time for me to start meeting with students in small groups. This is my 3rd year teaching math in small groups and I love what I do! It is very rewarding for me to work with your children  - many will be new to me this year and some friends I have had the pleasure of working with before. 

I will be working closely with your child's teacher while I am working with them. Parents are often concerned about what their child will miss when they come out for the small group. Your child's teacher is prepared for this and makes sure they are brought up to speed on what was missed. In addition, we make sure that the student is never pulled during their math time, as we want them to have a "double dose" of math instruction.

My goal, as always, is to help your child think of themselves as a good math student and to be more successful in math! The home piece is very important, especially when it comes to math. I encourage you to work with your child on their facts on a regular (preferably daily) basis. I have listed many websites on this blog to go to and to use for practice at home. Please take a look and try to find one or two that might be of benefit to your child. I look forward to meeting you in the coming weeks but in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me via my school email if you have any questions/concerns.
