First of all, I am glad that I have been chosen to teach at Cross Timbers 
Middle School.

My goals for the students are to become better problem solvers, lifelong 
learners, and be successful taking the state test.  Students will hopefully 
be able to apply classroom instruction to real world problems; develop an 
interest in and continue the study of mathematics; and instill a sense of 
ownership in TAKS.
