WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!  MY NAME IS MRS. GERING AND  I AM SO EXCITED TO MEET ALL OF MY NEW SIX GRADE STUDENTS THIS YEAR.  I WILL BE YOUR MATH AND SCIENCE TEACHER THIS YEAR!

 I HOPE YOU ARE EXCITED TO BE BACK IN SCHOOL AND IN SIXTH GRADE.  I KNOW STARTING A NEW SCHOOL YEAR AND A NEW GRADE CAN BE A LITTLE SCARY BUT ON TEAM 6-1 MS. HILL AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING TO MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE AND LESS NERVOUS.  

HERE ARE THE SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED FOR ME FOR SCIENCE AND MATH CLASS THIS YEAR:

SCIENCE:

PENCILS AND PENS
A ONE SUBJECT NOTEBOOK OR A THREE OR FOUR SUBJECT NOTEBOOK IF PREFERRED. WE USE OUR NOTEBOOKS EVERY DAY.

1 TWO POCKET FOLDER FOR KEEPING YOUR PAPERS ORGANIZED

GLUE STICKS
COLORED PENCILS
YOUR OWN PAIR OF SCISSORS IF YOU WOULD LIKE.  MY CLASSROOM SCISSORS ARE SOMETIMES TOO SMALL FOR YOUR GROWING HANDS. (TO BE USED FOR BOTH MATH AND SCIENCE CLASS)


MATH:

LOTS OF PENCILS (IT IS MATH) WITH ERASERS.  NO MECHANICAL PENCILS PLEASE UNLESS YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LEAD.  I FIND THEY ARE A NUISANCE AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY LEAD TO GIVE OUT.

A ONE SUBJECT NOTEBOOK OR A THREE OR FOUR SUBJECT NOTEBOOK IF PREFERRED. WE USE OUR NOTEBOOKS EVERY DAY. 

2 TWO POCKETS FOLDERS EACH A DIFFERENT COLOR.  ONE WILL STAY IN THE CLASSROOM AND BE USED FOR MATH FOLDER ACTIVITIES SO YOU MAY WANT TO FIND A UNIQUE FOLDER THAT YOU CAN EASILY FIND.  THE OTHER CAN BE ANY SOLID COLOR AND CAN MATCH YOUR NOTEBOOK OR I LIKE TO TELL KIDS THAT HAVING A RED FOLDER IS GREAT BECAUSE THE MATH BOOKS ARE RED SO YOU WILL RECOGNIZE IT EASILY.

GLUE STICKS, COLORED PENCILS, AND SCISSORS FOR BOTH MATH AND SCIENCE CLASS

DRY ERASE MARKERS FOR USE ON INDIVIDUAL WHITE BOARDS.  I LOVE TO USE THESE AND SO DO THE STUDENTS.
 

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT MANY OF THESE ITEMS WILL PROBABLY NEED TO BE REPLENISHED THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.
