Welcome Students to Ms. Brown’s Classroom: 

Room: 106 Subject: 6 th Grade Social Studies 2012-2013 Welcome Students to Ms. Brown’s Classroom

Introduction: 

Introduction Hello students, I am Ms. Brown your 6 th grade Social Studies Teacher, it gives me great joy to have you in my class this school year. Before we embark on this great academic journey I want to share with you some of my beliefs so you can get to know me and understand my expectations.

My Beliefs: 

My Beliefs I believe each and every child has the potential to bring something unique and special just not in my class but in world as a whole. I will help each of you to develop their potential by believing in you as capable individuals. I will assist each of you in discovering who you are , so you all can express your own opinions and nurture your own ideas . I will expect my students to understand and utilize their rights for a quality education , and to fulfill their responsibilities to themselves, to me and to each other in our collective efforts to learn and discover . As your teacher, I believe that every student needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. By accomplishing this, I will satisfy the need within myself to somehow make a difference in each one of your lives. Now let us all partake in this wonderful world of EDUCATION!
