Day #1 - 9/8/15 - Welcome to 6th Grade!!!

Good Morning ALL New 6th Graders,
          Welcome back to school and welcome to 6th Grade. I hope you all had a wonderful summer vacation. Each day as you enter the room I want you to read the morning message and complete the tasks assigned. I am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you. It is going to be a very exciting year.
          The first thing I want you to do is to select a seat. Leave all of your supplies in your backpacks. We will take care of them later. Next, pick up a piece of white card stock from the music stand and work on creating a name tent for yourself. See mine for an example.  Be sure to include 3 detailed pictures on the back that represent you. 
          If you finish please sit quietly while all the buses arrive. I have lots of information to give you throughout the day, so hold all your questions and I promise I will address each and every one of them.
                                                      Thank you
                                                      Mr. Trumble

Trip the Light Lyrics
If all the days come to pass Are behind these walls I'll be left at the end of things In a world kept small Travel far from what I know I'll be swept away I need to know I can be lost And not afraid We're gonna trip the light We're gonna break the night And we'll see with new eyes When we trip the light Remember we're lost together Remember we're the same We hold the burning rhythm in our hearts We hold the flame We're gonna trip the light We're gonna break the night And we'll see with new eyes When we trip the light We're gonna trip the light We're gonna break the night And we'll see with new eyes When we trip the light I'll find my way home On the western wind To a place that was once my world Back from where I've been And in the morning light I'll remember As the sun will rise We are all the glowing embers Of a distant fire We're gonna trip the light We're gonna break the night And we'll see with new eyes When we trip the light
