Welcome everyone to a brand new school year. Although this year is going to be an unusual one, I am sure that with a lot of patience, flexibility, understanding and teamwork, we will all get through it. We are all in this together.

This year, I will be teaching 6th grade Humanities and Ms. Kim and I will be teaching 7th grade Humanities. Some of you already know what Humanities is, but for those who do not, all it is, is a combination of ELA and History. All of our units will encompass all the Language Arts content (Reading, Writing, Listening & Speaking) as well as the Social Science content. Through the Summit platform, you and your child will be learning in a new way. At first you may find it confusing. That's OK! I will provide lots of support for all of you. 

You may be able to get into ASPEN and check your classes. You might even be able to get into Google Classroom and see A LOT of folders. Don't panic, just click on the Chicago Reading Framework folder and I have left you a message. Let's see who can solve the challenge!

In the meantime, you will still need some school supplies. So here is the list:

• Pencils & Pens
  
• Pencil sharpener/erasers
  
• 8 composition books (2 for each subject)
  
• Crayola crayons
  
• Crayola colored pencils
  
• 2   Elmer’s glue sticks
  
• Scissors/pointed tip
• ​1 pack of Multi colored construction paper

So enjoy the rest of your summer vacation and I hope to see all of you on Tuesday, September 8th. School begins at 8:15, so be sure you are logged into your homeroom teacher's Google Meets so you are not mark absent.
