1st Day in 6th Grade!!!!

Hello to all!!! Today was a great day!!! We were so glad to meet your child and get to know them. We look forward to learning more!!!







This week we will be focusing on Rules/Procedures and Multiple Intelligences.

This is what your child did today (8/25/10):

  • Your child was given their planner. They will write their homework in here daily. There may also be notes between teachers and you. Please look over this planner EVERY night and sign it!!
  • Every Wednesday, your child will bring home their "Wednesday Folder". They were given this today. This folder contains any correspondence from us or the office. The contents are listed on the front. Please sign this folder every Wednesday and make sure your child returns it on THURSDAY!!!
  • Every student did a "Getting to Know You" activity as well as a Multiple Intelligence survey. Ms. Horne and I will use these surveys as we plan our lessons. Ms. Horne will also integrate this survey into her math class by graphing the data of this activity.
  • Behavior expectations and the consequence chart were explained.
As you can see, it was a busy day all around!!!
