Dear Parents and Students, 

My name is Mrs. Santiago, you can call me Mrs. S. I hope you all had a wonderful summer! 

I'm very excited to invite you to your First Day of 6th Grade Math! This year we will be covering Number Senses, Geometry, Algebra, Statistics and Probability. It may sound challenging, but together we will build and learn the skills necessary to succeed and move on to 7th Grade Math! 

 I want this class to be as fun and exciting for you as it is for me. I created this blog to help prepare you for what to expect this year, and to update you on our day to day activities, homework and assignments throughout the year. Also, please feel free to post any questions, comments, or concerns you may have below or if you have any personal concerns please email me through the Contact Form on the top right hand corner and I will promptly respond any of your questions.

This year will be very fun!

I hope to meet all the Bright Mathematicians of this year! 

See you soon, happy calculating!
