Welcome to My Class!

Happy 2013-2014 School Year!


My Name is Chanisha Wilson, and I am so happy to be a part of your child's educational process this year.

This blog is brand new and set up to give you current information, news, and assignments. I will be adding homework assignments, project information, educational links and more on this blog throughout the week to keep you up to date with what is happening in the 5-6 grade classroom.

What's Happening Now
Today students have started their homework logs for recording the homework assignments that they will receive after lessons in class. Students will be responsible for recording homework assignments in their logs and making sure that homework is completed and assignments checked/signed off (initials) by parents, guardians, or those who help them with homework. I encourage you parents to please check the logs daily to see what has been assigned and to ensure that the work has been done properly. Please check for today's homework assignment.

Students will look up the following article/keywords on the internet:

"Couple is Suspended by SDA Church for Dancing to 'worldly secular' Music"

Read the article and prepare to discuss your views on the situation in class tomorrow.

This Week's Objectives
This week's focus has been primarily about learning and practicing procedures, safety, rules, and expectations within the school and the classroom. We have been going over the School Handbook intensely with the entire school body and with individual classes in order to ensure that students are aware of what is expected of them as they attend school throughout the year. Both parents and students will be held accountable for what is contained in the handbooks so please familiarize yourselves with the content.

Upcoming Events
Language Arts, which includes Literature, Spelling, Writing, and Grammar for grades 5-8 will be taught in my classroom as well as Spanish for grades 5-8. All Mathematics for Grades 5-8 will be taught by our principal and 7-8 grade teacher, Mr. Jarvis. Students will change classes starting next week Wednesday. There will be no music class using Xylopipes (recorders) this school year. I recognize that this is a surprising and possibly disappointing change for some; however, there is an alternative program in Music's place. I will be assisting with the Robotics Program in order to prepare the developing team for competition at Southern Adventist University in the Spring of 2014. Information for all interested students concerning the Robotics Program will be sent out by Ms. Francine Brown, the Kindergarten Teacher and Robotics Coordinator.

Contacting Me
If you need to contact me for any reason please feel free to e-mail me at my school email: mcja5and6@gmail.com and I will do my best to respond the same day. I am available to talk during school hours between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. or after school at 3:15 p.m. If you have a pressing communication, you may text or call me on my cell (706) 315-9259.

I look forward to all that we will accomplish this year together with God and one another!
