			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Welcome back for the 2008-2009 school year! I am the 7th grade Math teacher for the <a href="http://www.carteretcountyschools.org/mms/teacherwebs/starfish/index.htm">Starfish team</a>. I hope you share my excitement for increasing your current skills and learning new material that will help you succeed in future classes and life.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Please feel free to visit this website for class information and to communicate with me at anytime.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">I am looking forward to having you contribute as an active participant.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>We will not be using calculators until the third 12 weeks of school.  My goal is to make you faster at solving problems than it would to get your calculator out.  However, the calculator is a good tool on some types of problems to help you solve them more efficiently.</strong></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Below is rough outline of how class was run during the 2007-2008 school year.  The curriculum is the same but we are rearranging some of the objectives around to make the class flow better.  </span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Also, this year we are fully implementing Accelerated Math (AM) in class.  Part of my full implementation is to have weekly tests, typically on Fridays, on about 3-6 objectives at a time as opposed to 1 to 3 weeks of material at a time.  This allows your student to test on the objectives while they are still fresh in their mind.  Homework will generally be in the form of AM practice sheets (possibly AM exercise sheets) and notecards.  Some time is generally provided at the end of class for your student to start their homework and ask questions while I am available.</span></span></span></span></p>
