Yesterday proved to be a great day! The students showed how excited they were to see their friends and start a new school year. I heard a great buzz all day long! I am so excited to be back here and teaching at Crandall Middle School.
Don't forget to answer the survey (Pre-Algebra and STAAR Math) by Sunday, August 28th by 11:59 pm. This is an EASY 100 that you should all be able to get! The labs are open in the morning and available for you to use if you do not have a computer at home.
