Welcome to 1st Grade Math!
My name is Allison Holt and I am so excited to dive into our math curriculum this year with your children! I believe that in order to be successful mathematicians, students need to be okay with making mistakes. I will foster a love for math that holds more meaning than simply finding a solution. I want my students to know WHY they are learning how to do certain math objectives. Growing up, I would tend to scramble and find a quick solution without grasping the purpose behind the problem or question. It is important to me that my students are taught the "purpose" of math and how we can use its various forms in our every day lives.
A little bit about my personal life:
I have three boys ages 11, 9, and 3! I received my bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Old Dominion University. During my free time, I enjoy exercising, running my own virtual health and fitness business, and spending time with family and friends. I love music, any genre that has a good beat is my jam!
