Bonjour/Good day Cougar families!

Our names are Mme Roach and Mme Killam and we will be your grade 7 FI Math and
PDCP teachers this year at QMS.

Note from Mme Roach:

I am originally from Bathurst, NB and have taught in the Anglophone North,

East, and South Districts. I am just coming off my second maternity leave with my
second son and am looking forward to getting back into the classroom. My oldest son is
3 years old (just started pre-school this year) and my youngest little guy is 10 months.
They both are very, very busy but love to learn – just like their mom!

Even though I have enjoyed my time with both of them immensely, I am excited
to dive back into the math classroom and to work with the Grade 7 students at QMS!
I enjoy playing golf, playing and coaching volleyball, as well as anything that keeps me
and my family active. Math is my passion and I can’t wait to embark on this journey
through the grade 7 FI Math Curriculum with all of you!

Note from Mme Killam:

I am originally from Fredericton, NB, but have been living and teaching in the
Saint John area for 15 years. I am happy to be settled in Quispamsis with my husband
and young son.

I have a background in Psychology with an MEd in Exceptional Learners. I have

been a middle-level Math teacher my entire career and, in addition to classroom
teaching, I have been a Math Mentor & Coach for other teachers as well as a Resource
& Methods teacher.

I enjoy reading, singing, cooking and spending time with family. I am thrilled to
be partnering with Mme Roach in Grade 7 Math at QMS this year!
 Our math class will be divided into many different learning outcomes and
includes activities such as: mental math, journal writing, group work activities, problem
solving, math focused vocabulary, formative and summative quizzes, and tests.
Students and families can always stay connected through Class Dojo (download the app
or log in on any mobile device) and follow along on our website at:
www.math7roach.weebly.com

The website will highlight all of our activities, lessons from the day, and any
important information that the student may have missed or misunderstood throughout
the year. You will find our contact information on our website; the best way to get
ahold of us quickly being through email, the website, or sending a quick message
through Class Dojo messenger.

Thank you so much for allowing us to participate in your child’s learning and we
look forward to meeting all of you!
