hello my name is Brooklyn Harker welcome to Virtual back to school night and so we cannot meet face-to-face but at least this interaction will provide you with some important information about my class for the school year I am the man celeration teacher for grade 6 7 and 8 so what is math acceleration well I always use this analogy think about a coach with a coach's job is to prepare their athletes forget they do this by teacher Jim Gill having a practice those skills and encouraging and supporting them and basically bringing out the best in their athletes all this so that they can ultimately win the game exactly what my job is I prepare your stew by previewing material providing them with the skills they need and the practice so that they can go back to their math class and be successful now let me direct you to my math contract something hopefully it was brockelman that you've seen so I can go over some weather details you should know about my class and in addition to what I've already mentioned is that there are no grades given there was no homework I'm it is strictly to enforce the concepts of going to be learning in class later so this year things are a little bit different and we have remote days so instead of me adding on extra homework for students to do one thing I'm making available to your students is an every Zoom session to go over any questions that they have homework assignment I tell them they literally have a personal tutor at their disposal this year so I really really encourage you to have them checking in with me pretty much anytime there remote they should be assuming it's at the same time everyday so I posted here everything will be directed on my Google Classroom students have had a chance to practice so they are familiar with my Google classroom and housing sessions run we've done practice sessions at school and I've already had numerous students daily which is a great asthma it's harder I really really encourage you to have them checking in with me seasoning with me any day that you are remote at 12K 7th grade student you will be zooming with me at 12:30 any day that your remote and 6th grade students you will resume in with me at 1 I keep those times the same so that is consistent there is a new Zoom link posted every day on my Google site so you don't have to go there first and then they literally can click on the link and that's it takes them right into the room with me shampoo to do all that these are the Google Classroom codes your student is already a part of my Google Classroom however if you were interested in joining the Google classroom for yourself this would be the eighth grade code hear this would be the 7th grade code and this is the sixth grade code this is again all on that Mac country current contract that I sent home with your student with your child earlier I do put everything on my Google Classroom page the link is on my website so if you went to my website you would see the link there if you click on that that takes you right through my Google classroom any announcements and zoom links are obviously I'm going to be up there daily okay this is other important information for me to share with you is it any point because contact is a communication is Uber through this. We are now more than ever I want to say this is the the information that you would need to get ahold of me you can have two email addresses you could do the bee harkirat and pdsd.org or have a Gmail account this is where your student prime or your child probably would reach me at the masd student.org you can get ahold of me there of course you could always call the school my number is posted here this is the middle school and then you would ask for extensions 1021 please reach out at any point because we want to make sure that your child is is discussed will this year with math and please please encourage them to definitely take advantage of those times that we're going to be meeting to go over material I hope your child has a great school year and again if you need anything at any point please reach out and keep communication thank you
