Dear Parents,

Welcome! We had a successful first week of 6^th grade. We spent time getting to know one another and learning about our school rules and classroom expectations. We also began working on our curriculum goals. I’ve enjoyed getting to know your student and their particular interests and abilities.

           

In sixth grade we have a lot going on. One way of keeping up with what we are doing in our classes is through your student’s planner. Students are required to record all assignments and topics of focus. They should check them off as they are completed. We do this together as a class at the end of everyday.

Another way of keeping up with your student’s schoolwork and activities is through the class blog. You can access this through the following website. http://mrsbaumans6thgrade.blogspot.com/

I’ll be updating this site regularly, but if you sign on as a follower, you will receive an email notification when something new is added.

More information about this school year will be available next week, both through a 6^th Grade Welcome Packet and on “Back to School Night”. Please try to attend one of the three sessions in our classroom.  I’ll present some information and give you a chance to ask any questions that you may have.

While we have provided each student with most of the items needed for school this year, it would be helpful if students could bring the following materials.  If this is not possible, please tell your student to let me know.

• One binder (at least 1.5 inches in size, with pockets!)
• One set of binder dividers
• A highlighter
• A blank check register from a bank (please send extras if you don’t use them)
• Tissues (donations)
• Sanitizing wipes (donations)
• Hand sanitizer (donations)
• Dry erase markers (donations)
• Regular makers (donations)

Finally, if you have any other questions or concerns please email me at nancy.bauman@canyonsdistrict.org
