Dear Future 7th Grader,



Welcome to 6th grade!

2019 - 2020 is going to be an exciting year! Your teachers are so thrilled to be a part of your learning and can’t wait to tell you, “Welcome!” Here’s a note from each of your teachers, introducing themselves and the class.

[pic] Science: Hello, and welcome!  I am Ms. Miller and I will be teaching 6th grade science. Outdoor school camp is just around the corner! Our camp dates are October 16-18, and you will have a blast learning and teambuilding with other 6th grade students. Throughout the year you will be learning about life science and studying plant systems, body systems, and cells. You will also learn about Earth science as we explore the interactions of the Earth and its atmosphere. We can’t forget about physical science when you will learn about energy and the transfer of heat energy. Scientific Method and inquiry skills will be built into all the units of study this year. I am going to ask that you come to class every day with a thinking and active mind.  I have high expectations for you and your learning goals this year, and know you will live up to them. I can’t wait to meet each one of you!

Math: Greetings! I am Mrs. Zwiernik, and I can’t wait to meet you! My goal this year is to help you feel confident about your current math skills and increase those skills by at least one grade level for those who are ready for it! We will be learning about ratios, geometry, algebra, and statistics to name a few topics. Also, if you don’t have your math facts memorized yet, set yourself a summer-time goal. It will help you be more successful in every math class you take for the rest of your life! Get ready for some challenges and fun, too! I love to incorporate technology into our learning. Make sure to bring a pencil and your math notebook each day!

Language Arts: Welcome to a new school year! I hope you are excited to start the 2019 school year at Coronado, home of the Coyotes! I, Mr. Hilliard, will be your Language Arts Teacher. In language arts we will study and utilize Greek and Latin word stems to help bolster your vocabulary. In addition, we will read novels, short stories, and non-fiction articles. By the time you leave Coronado, you will be well versed in identifying and using figurative language effectively, and recognizing and analyzing literary elements that author’s use to enhance their writing. Lastly, you will have numerous opportunities in class to express yourself orally, and in writing, but be ready to cite evidence and justify your answers. I am looking forward to meeting you!

Social Studies: Are your bags packed? It’s going to be an adventurous journey as we explore the world together. I’m Ms. Garcia and I’m so lucky to be your Social Studies teacher in 6th grade! You can count on discovering things you never knew existed. We’ll travel through ancient civilizations, people of the past, and learn so much about how the world has changed. Our studies will take us through Rome, Greece, China and more! Be ready to dig deep as we learn and grow together. Let’s rock it, 6th graders!

COME TO EACH CLASS PREPARED TO PARTICIPATE & LEARN! Class will always be more exciting when everyone contributes their thoughts and ideas. The key to being successful in 6th grade is having a positive attitude, being organized, and completing your work on time. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

This is the time to take advantage of the back to school sales. In 6th grade, students need a lot of extra pens, pencils, colored pencils, markers, dry erase markers, scissors, tape, glue, college ruled paper, folders, sharpener, ruler, protractor, etc. Some of these things we will not use every day, so each homeroom teacher will collect particular items and store them in a safe place so that they are available when the students need them.

We look forward to meeting you at Meet the Teacher on Thursday, July 18th, between 5:30-6:30 pm.

The 6th grade teachers!

Lisa Miller, Bert Hilliard, Crystal Garcia and Theo Zwiernik
