Welcome to Team 6C!

 

 

 

My webpage will be updated weekly for both math and social studies.  It will include national standards that we will be focusing on for the week, as well as specific classwork and homework.  I will be assigning a weekly math homework assignment that will be distributed on Mondays and due on Fridays.  Eventually, this may become a nightly assignment -- I will let the students know in advance.  I will not be assigning homework in social studies unless it involves a project. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me through email or by phone.
