Geometry ( Honors) , Pre-Algebra 8.3, Algebra (Honors), Pre-Algebra 7.2
Excellent job on last years' STAR test Matadors. In 7th grade Algebra the average was 515 and
Geometry the average was 471. These are really fine scores for the classes. It shows that your hard work last year has really paid off. Way to go!!
I will be starting my 35th year of teaching this year, 33rd at Bernardo. That does seem like a long time, but I can still remember my first days like yesterday. When I started teaching here Jimmy Carter was President, look him up in your history book.
I plan on continuing to teach for a number of years, as long as God graciously gives me health, as long as I enjoy working with students and as long as I feel I continue to make a difference. I know we have a great school, wonderful parents and excellent students. Thank you again for your support as we begin a new year.
The study and mastery of mathematics can bring great satisfaction and enjoyment and lead to a career of greater challenge and reward. The discipline, methodology and higher level thinking are all tools that are the gateway to many professions whether they specifically involve math or not. Of course, if you are thinking of science, medicine, engineering, and computers to mention a few, math is an essential component skill for you.
I am looking forward to a fantastic year !!
