We had a great first day of school! The 6th graders seemed to get a hang of following their schedules by the end of the day. In my class, the students learned about their language arts teacher and we played a getting to know you game called “Me too!” where the students got to see who shared their likes, hobbies, summer vacation activities, etc. We had a lot of fun getting to know each other in a fun way! This week will be full of learning 6th grade routines and getting to know you activities. We will dive into setting up our reading and writing notebooks next week!

Students will be getting their syllabus and class information from me tomorrow so please look out for that in their backpacks.

Additionally, lockers will be given to the students this week through their advisory teacher. All backpacks and cellphones need to remain in your students locker throughout the day. I will allow my students to store their notebooks in their portfolio folders to help them be prepared for each class.  More information on this will be found in the “Class Information” sheet that is coming home tomorrow.

This is going to be a great school year and I can’t wait for the first full day with the students tomorrow!
