Name and Student Number Parent or Guardian Name and Contact Info (e-mail and telephone number) Math teachers & Courses & Approximate Grade (include Grade 9, GMF10, NRF 10, Foundations 11, PreCalc 11, PreCalc 12A) 1 Paragraph on Summer Happenings 1 Paragraph on Future Plans 1 Paragraph on Feelings about Math

I taught a stats course at the university until the end of June. In July I went to Toronto for the Pan Am Games and watched the badminton team win 6 medals. Went to PEI 5 or 6 times where we went to beaches and watched 2 musicals: Anne of Green Gables the Musical & Alice Through the Looking Glass. Most importantly, I became a Lola to baby Amelia who is almost 3 month old

Future plans include trying to be the best teacher I can be, going to visit Amelia in Boston a few times and next summer I am hoping to go on a Mediterranean cruise

I LOVE math a whole big bunch!! And I LOVE teaching math even more. But it doesn’t hurt me if ppl don’t. It wouldn’t be such a great world if everyone loved math the way that I do My family think I am weird for liking math so much but Jimmy Crack Corn and I don’t care
