I'm ready!
Are you?
I'm excited!
Are you?
So many new things to learn this year!
We're going to be moving our thinking
As we connect math to the real world out there.
Math is all around us.
Math is our friend. :)
We need you!
Without you, our learning will not be complete.
Our focus that drives us every day is the FISH Philosophy! You may have heard about the Pike's Fish Market in Seattle, WA and how businesses are using these concepts to become huge successes! If it can work in the business world, it will also work in our math classroom.
Here's what it is!
F...Focus on Attitude!
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. Come to class everyday with a positive attitude! You'll see what a difference it can make and how much more you can learn!
I...Interject Fun!
We are going to make learning math FUN! What other alternative do we have? Not having fun isn't even an option.
S...Serve Others!
We work with others every day and will continue to do so for the rest of our lives. If we try to make another person's day by treating them respectfully and positively, they'll feel better and surprisingly, so will you!
H...Here and Now!
It is important to be in the moment...not off daydreaming or planning what to do afterschool or doing homework for another class. You will be MISSING OUT on all the fun!
