Hello!  And welcome to my class!!

In this class semester we will be learning ALGEBRA!

Our class will meet 2 times each week for approximately 50 minutes each class.  Please note that some classes may go over the 50 minute time depending on questions and amount of children in class.  I will gladly go over the time to help any student that has questions and be there after each lesson for support.  I will also be available through e-mail for any questions.

In this class we will be thoroughly learning and Mastering Algebra 1.
During the ongoing course we will learn different concepts in an interactive form.  Students will be able to gain understanding throughout each class, have problems modeled and broken down for them, and have time to do independent practice where I can check for their understanding as needed. Before most classes, students may be emailed notes to print out. This will help with time so they don't have to write everything down and can focus on the key concepts to use our time wisely.  At the end of most classes students will be given homework to cover material from the class. 
This course will be a full year course.  The break down of the classes will look as following but the dates may vary.  Please reach out to me to find out which week we are on if needed.

At the end of each class, homework will be given for the students to practice.  At the beginning of each class we will review homework and time will be allocated for questions that the students may have from the previous days homework.  If student missed class this will give them an opportunity to see what what missed as well :-)  My goal is for each student to understand each concept.  Help will also be provided to those outside our live meeting via e-mail or on the classroom discussion board.  I encourage questions and an upbeat classroom. Come ready and willing to learn math!!

I do encourage participation from all students.  I will call on students in a popcorn format some classes and other times I will call on students by raise of hand.  Some questions and interaction will be by answering me directly in the chat box to ensure knowledge.  Tests will be submitted to me for grading.

For those who miss class, a live recording will be available.

If your child has any specific needs please reach out to me so I can accommodate in any way possible :-)

If I can help answer any questions about this class, please feel free to reach out to me.  
Have a wonderful day!
Keep smiling,
Mrs. Danielle
