Hello Parents and Students,

I am very excited to start the new school and year and get to know all of my new 6th graders. I know moving up to a new school can be a little intimidating, but we will get through it together. If you ever have any questions about anything, please do not hesitate to ask!

A little about me.
This is my third year teaching science here at White oak. I come from a family of science teachers, so my love of science started very early in life. I graduated from Texas Tech in the spring of 2012 , Wreck ‘Em! 🙂 I am currently the girls 8th grade volleyball, basketball, and track coach. The last two years I have been the 7th grade girls coach. I am ready to get year 3 started and see what surprises it holds for us.

School supplies for my class.
Students will need:
1 Mead Composition book
Girls will need to bring 1-2 glue sticks
Boys will need to bring a package of markers
everyone needs a 1 inch binder. (If you are using one of the big zip binders, you are welcome to use that as long as there is a science section with 5 dividers)
– 5 dividers
Clorox Wipes (this is optional)

If your Bring your school supplies for my class on the first day you will get a 10Pt coupon. If you bring them the second day you will get a 5pt coupon.

Science and social studies are block glasses so you will have them every other day. If your schedule says “science” first you will go there Monday and Social Studies on Tuesday. If yours say “Social studies” first you will go there Monday and Science on Tuesday.

Please let me know if you have any questions
