From the Editor’s Pencil
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you all to a new year. Each new school year, whether you are a veteran or a novice, brings both wonder and apprehension. Each year is different than the last; there are new responsibilities and challenges, new successes and achievements.
Those of you who have been MCATA members in the past will notice that I am new to the job of newsletter editor, so I would like to introduce myself. My name is Tancy Lazar and I currently teach Grade 2 at a wonderful school with the Calgary Board of Education. I am excited to be adding this endeavour to my list of new challenges and look forward to helping all of you, whether past or new members, get more information about what is new and exciting in the world of mathematics and the council. Until next time, I wish you all an exciting start to a brand-new year!
