Dear Student,
My name is Mrs. Ekstrom and I will be your teacher for the 2011-2012 school
year. I hope that you have had a wonderful summer. We are very close to
beginning the new school year. School this year will begin on Wednesday,
August 31, 2011.
I would like to take a few moments to tell you a little about myself. This
will be my tenth year teaching sixth grade at Whitin. I teach Math and
Science to homerooms 208 and 209. I am teamed with the famous Mr. Raymond. He
teaches Language Arts and Social Studies. Mr. Raymond and I have been working
as a team since my Whitin journey began.
I have provided the desired school supplies for Mr. Raymond and myself below.
Please feel free to email me if you have any trouble or questions with the list.
Notebooks (approx. 5 single subject) - feel free to use partially used
notebooks - lets save paper!
Pencils - LOTS OF THEM!
Highlighters
Markers
Colored Pencils
Hand held pencil sharpener
Erasers
Pens (black or blue ink only)
Index cards
Ruler
***Please make sure you are bringing pencils to math class!!!***
***Backpacks with wheels are not recommended because they do not fit into
student lockers***
I allow healthy snacks and water bottles in my morning classes as long as the
privilege is not taken advantage of.
