30 day leave

Dearest students,

            I wish I could be there in person to tell you that I will be gone for 30 days (up until Christmas break).  I’m so sad that I can’t be there to explain, and to tell  you how much I love each of you!  I’m sad to think about the awesome times I’m going to miss out on.  You are such a dear class to me!  It’s been such a pleasure to work with you.  You have been so dedicated, and smart, and positive.  Working with you has brought me more joy than I’ve had in a long time.  I’m honored to have been your teacher. 

            Of course, you are lucky to be at this school when we have two 9^th grade math teachers!  Even though one of us has had to drop out of the race for a bit (I’m talking about myself, just in case you are confused), the other is still there able to support you.  Many of you have me for two periods, but I’d like to encourage you to use Mr. Mendez as a resource.  He is very knowledgable and has taught across the spectrum in math, from Math Support to Calculus.  He's a genius!!



Sally Brown



            One of the most frequently asked questions is about SALLY.  What will happen to it?  I have kept careful records on each class, and when I return, we will pick up right where we left.  Also, your substitute has been carefully selected to meet your needs.  They may have a different teaching style from me and you might have to learn a few new routines.  The substitute will probably have a different reward system.  Follow it with as much heart and dedication as you have shown me.  You will be successful.

            I will miss each of you soooooo much!!!!!  At least now I have time to try to become a better blogger.  I'll post websites that will help you with math, and commercial breaks here to help you get through the year.  Here's one of my favorites: 

It's to remind you of the amazing things you are capable of doing.  Go forth and calculate!!
