Mighty Falcons,

Welcome to the second half of your 6th grade careers.  I hope you've enjoyed the holidays to the max and have made many special memories with family and friends.  This is the time to focus on your goals and work on your personal and academic new year's resolutions.


I am very proud to be your teacher and I know you will give it your all inside and outside the classroom. This semester requires intensive dedication and determination in order to be successful

This week we will shortly review how to multiply and divide fractions and begin our math lesson on dividing decimals. STAAR  will be here before you know it so we must be prepared. Stay alert and ask questions when in need. I'm available for recess tutoring just make sure you get a recess pass.

Check out the following video to get ahead of the game.

Try your best not to be absent.

Be the best individual you can be.

Stay Alert!
