Welcome to 6th grade!

Hello 6th graders!

I am so excited for you to be in my homeroom this year! We will have a fantastic time together. Most of you know me as Miss Tollefson, but I was recently married over the summer and I am now Mrs. Powroznik! I will also be your teacher for Social Studies and this year you will be learning about Europe, South America, and Central America.

Here is a little information about me.....

I have lived in Minnesota, Florida, Illinois, and Indiana. I graduated from Ball State University with my Bachelor's degree in history. I then continued my studies to receive my Masters degree in Elementary Education and Language Arts from Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago. I have been teaching for four years.

I love to read, play golf, spend time with my friends & family, and take my darling pug to the dog park. Isn't she cute?

We will be doing a variety of educational field trips, activities, and have community guest presentations. Unique to 6th grade is the online Newsbowl Current Events League. 6th graders will be placed in teams to answer challenging current events questions to compete against other 6th graders around the country.

I will be frequently posting updates on events and information you need to know. Please do not hesitate to email or call me with any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to an incredible year with the 6th grade! Thank you, Mrs. Elizabeth Powroznik
