Welcome!

Welcome to 6th grade Science! 

 

I’m so glad you’re here!  We don’t know each other yet, but I’ve been excited over the summer just thinking about you! During the year we will get to know each other because we will spend time together almost every day! 

I want you to know that I care about you. I care about what, and if you are learning in class, but I also care and want to know about how you are doing, what you are thinking and what your hopes and dreams are for the future! 

I come from a BIG family with 7 sisters and 1 brother. My husband’s name is Tyler, and I have an awesome nine-year-old son named Maxwell.  We have a pet dog named Izzy, a hamster named Minie, and a classroom pet tortoise named Tortie.  My hobbies are, spending time on our family ranch, traveling, and reading great books.  

In school my favorite subject was writing (I loved writing stories and drawing pictures to go with them). One of my dreams is to become a fantastic cook! If I had one wish, it would be to own a big house with a huge yard so I could have lots of friends and family over all the time! I can’t wait to meet you! See you soon!

-Mrs.  Hunt
