Ms. Firkus' Math Page Since graduating from UW-Eau Claire in 2003, I have spent the last few years substitute teaching in and around Eau Claire and the Twin Cities. This is my THIRD year at Ramsey and I'm thrilled to be teaching your son/daughter!! We are beginning our second year using the Holt Course 3 book. There is a CD-ROM available for purchase for $3. This is a good way for students to have a copy of the book at home without having to carry their heavy textbook back and forth. There are also other practice activities on that CD students can use. You can access the book and other math activities online and can find those links on the Learning Links to the right! If you need to get ahold of me, email is the best way - emily.firkus@spps.org . If you need to call, you can reach me at 651-293-8860 x211.
