Introduction Ms. Brady Welcome to 8th-grade math on the Rams Team. This is my 17th year teaching at Githens Middle School. I am excited to share my love of mathematics with you and to help instill a lifelong ability to problem solve. I personally enjoy new experiences and I am always seeking an opportunity to learn. Each year, I challenge myself to experience a "new". This exposure drives me to live life to the fullest, a life without regrets. After all, regrets are only what you didn’t have the courage to try. I want this to directly correlate in my classroom. There is no problem that we do not have the courage to try. I am looking forward to a year full of growth and learning, both for my students and myself!
Mr. Fields This is my ninth year teaching at Githens Middle School. I am excited to share my enjoyment of math with you and hope to instill a lifelong curiosity in the field of mathematics. I have always enjoyed solving problems and exploring patterns in the natural world. Some of my favorite hobbies include camping, distance running, watching sports and eating good food. I also coach cross country and track, so if you like running be sure to ask about tryouts! This year will be a learning experience for all of us. We will have a great year by working together to accomplish our goals!
