Welcome Back Students, 

   Welcome everyone to 6th grade in Mr. Boice's class I am excited to have all of you in my class this year. Parents this blog is a place to come view what is happening each week in class as well as any reminders on important upcoming events. This blog will also have weekly spelling words in case your child forgets to write them down. 

Reminders- 
Make sure supplies are brought into school, students will need to be prepared each day for class and without supplies they will not be. 
Also remember to turn in the parent contact form that was sent out the first week. I  will be sending out a mass email to everyone whose email account I have. Please use this as the main way of contacting me.
