So, what do I need to know about being in your math class?
The best way to succeed in math class is to show up and participate every day.  Learning math is a process that takes a little bit of daily work over long periods of time, just like learning another language or playing an instrument.  If you miss a day, you need to go back and learn the material before moving forward, or it will just make going forward more difficult.  My goal as your teacher is to provide you with many opportunities to learn the math skills and concepts you need to be successful in life, and to have some fun while learning together.  

In our current state of distance learning, you might have more questions that you used to when we were in the classroom; I know I do!  Please remember that I am always open to your questions, big or small.  I'm just an email away.  Looking forward to our journey.
