Welcome to the Bruins Team Math class 2017-2018!
My name is Mrs. Karen Guice and I am so excited to part of the Grover C. Fields Team!!! This is my fourth year at Grover C. Fields Middle School and I am the math teacher on the Bruins Team. I have an undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Tarheels!!!!) and I'm working towards my graduate degree from East Carolina University (Go Pirates!!!!!). I have been married to my amazing husband Joe for 10 years and we have two children. I have a son named Brody who is in third grade this year and my daughter Natalie is in second grade. I also have four furry children; my 7 year old dalmatian, Pepper, my 2 year old dalmatian Huey, my cats Gemini and Mavis...my other cat Leo crossed over the Rainbow Bridge last summer :( Some other interesting things about me are: I was born in Connecticut, I was in the United States Coast Guard, and I hold a junior national record and the UNC Chapel Hill school record in the javelin throw (176 feet and 8 inches).
In the classroom we will have a wonderful year full of learning, sharing, caring, growing, and FUN!!!! We will be very busy with a full schedule of discovering and applying new mathematical concepts as well as strengthening previously learned concepts. We will work together as a team/family and succeed! I hold all of my students to the highest expectations and standards and I hope that my students and families hold me to the highest expectations and standards. I am always here to help in any way that I can and I am very easy to reach via phone or email. Lastly, My goal for this school year is to establish relationships with my students, their families, and everyone else involved in student success so that we can excel in the learning of mathematics. With a foundation built on respect, goals, hard work, dedication, and positivity we can accomplish anything!!!! Lets have a great year!!!!
