I am so excited to get to know all of the new 6th Graders.  I hope you had a great summer and I will see you soon!

Hi 6th Graders!  I loved having each of you in my Homeroom this year and teaching all of you Math, but so sad that our time was cut short.  I missed seeing each of you in person and hearing your laughter and chatter.  We were a talkative homeroom this year!  You continued to amaze me with your effort and your perseverance during Distance Learning.  We had a few bumps early on, but we all figured it out, made the best of it, and finished strong.  You were awesome!

I hope you have a blessed and relaxing summer.  You will be in my prayers.

Come visit down the hall next year and say hi!  See you at Open House on August 18, 2020!

I am excited to be starting distance learning with all of you.  This is new for all of us.  Please be patient with your teachers and we will be patient with you, our students.  I will be available for questions by email or through comments on Classroom.  Please do not hesitate to ask me your questions.  I will do my best to answer as promptly as I can.

MATH LESSONS-

1.) Each day’s lesson will be posted on the students’ Google Math Classroom.  All needed videos and links will be attached to that day’s post.  Everything students need will be right there.

2.) My plan is  to have a video  where I explain the topic we are doing that day.  I have included a note document, but it would be awesome if students took their own notes so they can refer to them while they are doing their practice problems.  Students can also print notes off and put their own notes on them as well.  Then, keep them in a specific spot or folder for when needed or studying for a test.  On the video I will explain the topic and do some practice problems for students to watch.  Then, they will be asked to do a couple on their own.

3.) Students will need to turn in their practice problems.  This can be done 2 ways:  a.)They can take a picture of it and email it to me, or b.) If it is an assignment on Classroom, attach their photo and TURN IT IN.

GENERAL SIXTH GRADE INFORMATION

1.  All sixth-grade teachers will have the day’s activities posted by 8:15 a.m. each morning on their individual Google Classroom pages (math, English, science, etc.).

• **NOTE: the Google Classroom pages are different from these SPSL homeroom pages (the page you are reading now).

2.  Activities are meant to take 20 minutes each day and will be posted Monday-Friday.

3.  Due dates for assignments will be included with the activity information.

4.  Students will need to check their own personal student email accounts at least once each day for additional information and communication that might be sent by teachers.
