My name is Ms. Jennifer Bevins. I graduated from Georgian Court College and have been teaching in Catholic school for twenty-two years. This is my first year at Trenton Catholic Academy.  I am thankful and honored to have been given the opportunity to teach 6th grade. 

As a teacher I believe that every student is special and unique.  We all have gifts and talents to share. I am looking forward to seeing your talents and gifts in action. As we begin our journey through sixth grade remember that you are up to the challenge!

Remote Online Learning:

Attention 6th Graders,

We will be continuing school on Google Classroom. I know that this is a challenge, but you can do it!  Remember even though we are not in our classroom everyday we are still learning.  Assignments will be posted daily by your teachers in all of your Google classrooms.

Expectations: 
-You are responsible for logging in and completing the assignments and activities on a daily basis. I will be available and checking Google Classroom from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. You can email me if you have any questions or difficulties.

-We will meet online at least twice a week. Make sure that you check the links for out meeting times.

- When you are making or responding to comments or completing assignments on Google Classroom please remember to use proper spelling and grammar.  

- Be respectful and stay on topic during discussions.

Assignments:
I will be posting assignments daily. Like the classwork we would complete in school, the assignments should be completed and turned in daily.  Assignments are turned in by hitting the Turn It In button in Google Classroom.

Remember we can do this! We are Iron Mikes!

6A is not just a classroom, but a family of learners. We will work together to grow in faith and knowledge. To do so we will need to work with each other and put forth our best effort.  You can do anything as long as you try! Remember that making mistakes is a part of learning and growing. 


Class Rules
1. Come to class prepared and ready to work.
2. Give your best effort.
3. Treat your classmates, peers, and teachers with respect.

Homework will be posted on my class website every day. Some assignments will be long term and require students to budget their time.  If an assignment is incomplete it will be given back for the student to redo/complete during recess.  Parents will be notified after three missed assignments.

Absent Work
Students who are absent will have their work collected for them. The assignments will be placed on the Absent Work board in the classroom.
