Welcome to 6th grade science with Ms.Jones. I'm so excited to meet and grow with all of you. I hope this year we will grow as a family and support each other through this academic year. We shine bright in my classroom and we never dull any lights! I have an open door policy which means you are welcome to come and sit and talk with me. I look forward to meeting you all!
