Welcome to the Sixth Grade!!!

If you are accessing this email then you are either a new student of mine or a parent of one of my new students. First of all, welcome to Manor Middle School. We are very excited to have you as part of our team.

This blog will provide access for parents, and students, for current major assignments and a list of focus topics for upcoming tests. It is also a great way to contact me with questions by posting to the blog, or you can email me at chris.hanson@manorisd.net.

I will be outlining some important points in the next few weeks about the 6th grade in general and this class so please stay tuned for more information.For now, please make sure that your student sends back their signed acceptance form in back of the procedures packet. Please make sure that you have gone through and understand all of my procedures before sending it back. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Your student will recieve a grade for turning this back in.

Interested in extra credit? Every year I encourage students to bring supplies that will be used by all of my classes. I will give a free 100 daily grade for the following items:
-scissors
-markers (8 pack)
-construction paper (1 pack)
-kleenex (1 box, though most important)
-ruler
Once your child hands this item to me I will mark them down for the extra credit. Please focus on my required materials first. The extra credit is limited to five items, so they are able to get 5 100's for extra credit. (ex: If they bring 5 boxes of kleenex, they will get 5 100's. If then they bring a pair of scissors they will not receive further extra credit).

Thanks for following this blog, and I look forward to a great school year.

Mr. Hanson
