Welcome to Mrs. Mitchell’s Class!
I am excited to see school back in session. This year we have some new challenges and new stories will be exploring. We will also be diving right into our history and world geography. I hope you are as excited as I am!
6th Grade we will be starting with Gary Paulsen’s Hatchet.
If you want your own copy to highlight and write in then you may want to check Scholastic or Amazon.
This year’s motto:
Your attitude determines your direction!
