Mission For The Class
I want all students to feel that my classroom is a safe place for them to learn.  I encourage students to work with their classmates and ask for help if needed.  Students are expected to persevere with problems and are required to explain their reasoning when performing mathematics.  I believe that if we expect learning at a high level and show students that we (teachers and parents) believe in their abilities, they will achieve at high levels.

Our primary focus will be to (1) further foundational skills in Math necessary for the 6th grade curriculum and (2) reinforce what is being taught in core Math classes

This will be accomplished by giving students more time to practice the concepts and skills that are being taught in the core math classes.  This practice may be done in  a small group of peers or in a small group led by the teacher.  Re-teaching will be provided on an as-needed basis.
