Welcome back to school for your eighth grade year. I hope you are excited
and expecting to learn a lot of math material to get ready for the LEAP test.
I hope you come into my class everyday expecting to learn something new and
exciting. Please give me your best effort and don't be afraid to ask
questions if you do not understand. I am here to help you and build your
confidence in math. I will do everything I can to help you have a great year.
Thanks,
Mr. Moore
