Welcome!

Welcome to Mrs. Adams' 8th grade math class!  I am so very excited about the school year and I hope you are too!  This summer I went to a fabulous math conference and got many great ideas that I plan on trying this year.  One of the ideas was to start a blog so that students and parents could both feel more a part of the class.  My goal is to share activities that we do in class, post pictures of us doing those activities, and maybe share some fun math stuff you might be interested in.  This is a work in progress, but I hope you will enjoy it!

Unfortunately in math we are always crunching numbers and we rarely get to talk personal, so I'm hoping this blog will also help me and my students get to know each other better and share things we don't get to share in class.  Therefore, I will start us off!  The top ten things you might want to know about me:
1)  My family is the most important thing in my life!  I have 2 precious daughters and a wonderful husband, not to mention a huge extended family that I think the world of!

2)  My favorite color is pink, pink, pink!
3)  I am the middle child inbetween 2 super brothers that I love to pieces!
4)  I am part Italian and my Italian family makes homemade sausage during the holidays with an old-fashion sausage maker.
5)  I love to cook...when I have time.
6)  The beach is my favorite vacation spot.
7)  I love to volunteer at my daughter's school and am very involved in the PTA there.
8)  I love sports!
9)  The Horned Frogs are my HOME TEAM!  Go FROGS!
10)  I love to read!  If I get a good book I am likely to read it in 24 hours because I can't put it down.

There you go!  Some fun fast facts about me.  I'm looking forward to a great year!
