Ridin' Back to School

Welcome back to school. Now I feel like going to Kmart to shop - these kids got me fired up. I also want to ride the bus . . . which would be weird for a teacher to do. Maybe I'll drive one instead. I bet they sell them on eBay. 

Ok, well I have my afternoon planned looking into these many options. Enjoy your weekends everyone.

Calling all KnowStrengthers

New and old students alike, welcome to KnowStrength.com - maybe this is your first time ever visiting the site, maybe it's your tenth time today. Either way, I want to thank you for visiting your social studies website. This is not Mr. Klumper's site, it's our site. If you were on 6.3 two years ago, last year or you've just joined, I use the phrase "6.3 Forever" seriously. 

For those new to team 6.3 social studies, I chose the website name KnowStrength for two reasons - Knowledge gives you Strength, and to succeed in this class you must have Strong Knowledge. No amount of material goods, or gadgets or muscle is equivalent to Knowledge - people who constantly desire to learn are the most successful people - maybe not right away (as in Abraham Lincoln, Elvis Presley or Albert Einstein to name a few), but eventually you'll succeed if you work hard to learn and grow as a person. 

I would like to encourage you to scroll down, going into KnowStrength's history to see all the really cool things 6.3 students have done and accomplished. My sleeves are full of fun, exciting and unique ideas for this year's team of students lucky to have been placed on our team.

To former 6.3 students, I remind you of the obligation you have to look after this year's students, help them out whenever possible. You've been in their shoes before and know it can be nerve-wracking to start a new year in a new school. Good luck to you each of you this year, I hope to see many of you often. 

To new students on 6.3, I can't wait to get to know you and together make this the best school year of our lives.
