Welcome Back! I am very excited to begin this school year! I hope you have had an enjoyable and safe summer break. This summer was very different from last summer. There was no traveling for me just spending time with family, reading some historical fiction novels, and lots cooking with seasonal fruits and vegetables. I have worked with our CGS staff and administration to help prepare our school for a safe educational experience for school year 2020-2021. Being the math specialist at Clover Garden School allows me the opportunity to use my previous job experiences: classroom math teacher- multiple grades, curriculum facilitator, curriculum instructor, and curriculum writer all in one job. The math department at CGS has many wonderful surprises in-store for students, parents, and staff this school year. I am certain these surprises are going to strength the math instruction and help our students become more math fluent and better problem solvers. I am looking forward to working with our Clover Garden students in small groups, classroom inclusion, and/or planning/supporting our students’ classroom teachers. This year, we will also offer our Math Advance Learners in grades 3-Math 1 the opportunity to grow in their problem solving abilities with small group pullout classes. Our school's end goal will be to expand our high school math department with more Advance Placement classes in the future. If you have any concerns about your child's math instruction at CGS please email me at [email protected]. Have a great school year!
