A Poem by Ms. Fox
Oh I'm so excited,
Hurry up, we can't be late
I don't want to miss a minute
Of this very special date
My brain, it's on fire
As I think and solve it out
The answer is so rewarding
That I dance around and shout
The meanest trick to play
And this is just no lie
Is to not let me work on a problem
Do you want to see me cry?
Math, it's at the heart of me
I'm a true mathematical nerd
Doing math is what's cool now
What? You hadn't heard?
So, my gift to you, I hope
As you journey with me this year
Is that when you get to challenging math
You won't run away in fear
It's not about getting it right
It's more about the thought
And having an idea of what to do
As well as what to not
So come along on the adventure,
I'll make a nerd out of you!
Math is all around us,
It's in everything we do!
Oh I'm so excited,
