What you will need for Math 6

This is what I gave your children today:

Bring these materials to class Tuesday and we’ll get started!
o Three-Ring Binder (at LEAST 2’’ – your notebook will fill up fast!)
o Pencil pouch (to hold your stuff)
o Pencils
o Basic calculator
o Notebook paper (College ruled)

How do I get in touch with Matthew?

There may be times throughout the year when you need to reach me when we’re not at school. Here are some ways to get me:

• Cell Phone – 919.414.1983. This is your best bet. If I don’t answer, leave a message and your name and number (if it’s not in the directory) and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
• Email – ross.matthew@mac.com (try this one first) or mross@cfsnc.org. I also am pretty good about checking and replying to email, but if it is urgent—call.
• Blog – http://matthewsmath6.blogspot.com/ Every day I will post information about what we’re doing in class including homework and pictures from that days’ lesson or activity on our class blog

For your Parents: Email & The Blog

Parents: I have created email lists of all of your emails that are listed in the directory. Regularly throughout the year I will be emailing you updates on what we’ve been doing in class. Our primary means of everyday communication, however, will be through our class blog at http://matthewsmath6.blogspot.com -- your homework tonight (parents!) is to check out the blog and Subscribe to receive Email Updates if you choose. I’ll also be emailing you about this so if this doesn’t make sense, no worries! I’ve got most of your email addresses, but if would like to receive updates at an email address not listed in the directory, shoot me an email ross.matthew@mac.com so that I can write it down and add it to my list!
