Welcome

Welcome to Mrs. Thomas's ILA class! I hope you read lots of great books this summer. I look forward to 
hearing all about them when you get to school.

I am anticipating a wonderful year of learning and growth. I believe students work best when they are 
placed in a comfortable, supportive learning environment. Therefore, I will encourage you to take risks 
without fear of failure and to become more responsible by informing you of guidelines regarding  
discipline, homework, and general expectations, all of which will remain consistent throughout the year. 

In sixth grade, you will gain a deeper understanding of our language and how it’s used to communicate 
and convey ideas through written texts by participating in reading and writing workshops and practicing 
daily word study.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by calling the school at 732-613-6891 
ext. 4352 or e-mailing me at cthomas@ebnet.org.  I will get back to you as soon as possible.
