Until our website gets up, we will use just this blog to communicate on the school's webpage. This blog will remain part of our webpage and will always have a brief summary of the day, maybe a picture, and the night's homework.
Here is our welcome letter if you missed it.
August 1, 2016
Dear Parents and 5th Graders,
Welcome to our team and welcome to Browns River Middle School. For those of you wondering about our team name, the class will work together at the beginning of the school year to choose our team name. For now we are listed as Team Energy on our future website. We hope that this letter finds everyone having a wonderful summer! We look forward to working with all of you and know that we will learn a lot together.
In order to be prepared, Ms. Lamb and Mr. Meadows ask you to start collecting the following items* for the first day of school:
- Two to three 1-inch three-ring binders; one for math and science, and one for social studies and language arts, we recommend that you get good quality as many students have had their binders fall apart before the end of the year. Please DO NOT get the big 3” kind as they don’t fit into the cubbies and are difficult to tote around in backpacks.
- Three total journals, two for LA writing in class and homework (hard marble type please) and one journal (marble or spiral) for science
- A calculator for math and science (does not need to be fancy)
- A ruler with both inches and centimeters (clear ones work better)
- Pencils, pencils, pencils! (100 is not too few, but use your judgment)
- Pens
- Pencil Pouch
- Set of colored markers and colored pencils
- 4-8 pocket folders (we use often for project organizing)
- Lined notebook paper
- 2 sets of subject dividers
*We will have a few extra and there will be a reuse zone of gently used items from last year
All students will be given a red assignment book at the beginning of the school year, which will be kept in their binders all year long. Students are required to use the assignment book.
Please be in touch with Mr. Meadows (jay.meadows@cesuvt.org) or Ms. Lamb (cate.lamb@cesuvt.org) if you have any questions as you prepare for school. We will be having an informal meet and greet before the start of the school year where parents and students can visit the classroom and meet the teachers. We will send out another email invitation to that when we better know the beginning of the year schedule. The school website is currently under construction, but check in periodically to see if the site is finished. We will try to post helpful information in the coming weeks.
Sincerely,
Ms. Cate Lamb and Mr. Jay Meadows
