Welcome to Our Class!

This year I am looking forward to teaching sixth grade math exclusively!!!  (This is a departure from the past where I taught sixth, seventh, and eighth grade math!)    This year I plan to continue expanding  the features in this  website while monitoring the current links available.  Tutorials, some vocabulary (in English and hopefully some Spanish),  and listings by topics are a few of the current features you will find.  I am constantly researching new sites to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics for the global community of students, teachers, parents, and others who utilize this web resource.   I know that many of you now enjoy math with a deeper understanding and keener interest.    Please be patient during the development of this project.  Stop back often to see what is new!!!  I welcome your feedback and suggestions.  And of course, thank you for your continued support!

This summer I once again  attended the Technology Integration Institute sponsored by NJEA at Stockton College.   In addition, I also taught Summer School and was trained during two workshops for the new technology we will be using in the classroom.   I am working on collating tiered lessons for common topics across grade levels. I  continue to work on numerous math projects, read a selection of math literature, and create some activities and projects across the grades to enhance the learning of my students. I have begun to tutor myself in Spanish.  My goal is  to enhance this website and to prepare myself for the use of future technologies (Voki, Socrative, Dot.Net.Nuke, IPad in the classroom, etc.)   In addition, I  enjoy spending time with my large family (five children and four grandchildren) and pets here at the shore.  Reading, knitting, gardening, fishing, cooking, eating out, exercising, origami, puzzles and games, and home improvement projects are all  part of my lifestyle.
