Summer 2021 

Dear Sixth Grade Student in Mrs. Rice’s Class, 

Welcome to our classroom!  I am excited to start this school year with you.  I am looking forward to a great year, as we will learn many fascinating things about:  Early Humans and the Rise of Civilization, Ancient Egypt and the Middle East, Ancient India, Ancient China, Pollution, Earth’s Changing Surface, Human Body in Motion, and much more.  

Important Dates: 

Open House: Thursday, August 26th from 2:00-3:00 pm .  This would be a great time for us to meet again and for you to drop off your supplies.  Classroom #202. 

First Day of School: Monday, August 30th .  

Back to School Night: Wednesday, September 1st from 7:30-8:00 pm 

There are some things that you should bring with you on the first day of school. 

• 2 Marble Composition Books 
• 3 Different Colored Plastic Pocket Folders with Fasteners in the Middle  
• Personal Hand Sanitizer  
• 2 Boxes of Tissues 

On the first day of school, please bring in any size pictures of you, your family or friends, and words/adjectives that describe you as an individual.  You may find these words or pictures in old magazines or printed clipart.  We will be making a collage with the pictures and words.  You should have a total of 50 pictures and/or words brought in a plastic bag on the first day of school.  

Please do not label any folders; we will do this in a special orderly way.  We will have a working snack every day, so be sure to bring in a healthy snack that can be kept in your desk.   

Looking forward to a great year, 

Mrs. Rice
