"Fishy" Expectations




There is actually nothing fishy about it.
We take our "Fish!" philosophy in math class very seriously.

This year in math class to help us be successful,
We will be following four basic ideas...

1)  We will focus on our attitudes...aiming to bring in a positive attitude as we learn all the new 8th grade concepts!

2)  We will interject fun into our learning experiences.  Variety, humor, review games, hands-on discoveries, and technology just to name a few will be how we have fun with math.

3)  Serving others by helping them through rough patches, encouraging them to keep going, and handing out positive comments will not only make learning much easier but will help keep our attitudes positive.

4)  Being in the here and now...in other words...being in the moment.  It's tough.  Even for us adults to stay present in each and every situation.  However, by attending to all the details going on in class means less missed instruction time.
