Welcome+Letter+and+Supply+List

Welcome Back! Dear Parents and Students, We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and welcome you to sixth grade at Eden Park. Our names are Ms. (Jennifer) Farais and Mrs. (Ann Marie) Torres. We are pleased and honored to be teaching your children in the sixth grade and we have many plans for guiding your children on their sixth grade learning journey. We hope that you all enjoyed your summer and are excited about the start of another school year.We hope that this school year promises to be a valuable and enriching experience for your child.This year will be a year of learning and growth.In order to help your child transition into the sixth grade we have developed and included with this letter a list of student responsibilities and rules.We ask that you read and review these expectations with your child because we believe that these guidelines will help to ensure a successful and enjoyable school year. Also, as the sixth grade teachers, we are requiring that every student have their planners signed at the end of every week. This will be an effective tool for parent/teacher communication and will count as a homework assignment each week. In our goals of helping the students become better readers and writers, we will be following the district wide program called Reading Street. This is an all encompassing English Language Arts program. The overall writing process will include working on drafting, revising, editing, peer reviews and final copies.Weekly, we will work on journal prompts, spelling words, vocabulary words and much more. For math, Mrs. Farias we will be covering the four operations involved in math: numbers and operations, functions and algebra, geometry and measurement, and data, statistics, and probability. For social studies, Mrs. Torres will be covering a different topic each quarter and they are: Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Russia, and the Ancient World. We are asking that you please be sure to discuss with your child how important it is to come to school prepared and ready to learn.Be sure that he/she has paper, notebooks, pencil, pen, required texts and ALL assigned homework.This is crucial in maintaining a positive learning environment. If you have any questions or would like to meet with either one of us please feel free to call the school at 270-8029 or send a note with your child.There will be updates posted on the Eden Park website which can found at cpsed.net then click on the Eden Park drop down box. We are looking forward to a positive and rewarding school year. Sincerely, Mrs. Farias Mrs. Torres SUPPLY LIST
