6th Grade Supply List

      Hello, sixth grade families! I know the supplies have hit the store shelves already, so here is the list of what I think we'll be needing. I will be meeting with Mrs. Eades (our previous sixth grade teacher) soon, and may need to adjust it per her advice, but there shouldn't be any changes after July 25.

     Here is the supply list:

• King James Bible
• pencils, traditional or mechanical
• 1 highlighter
• 2 boxes of tissues for class supply
• 1 container of disinfectant wipes for class supply 
• headphones for iPad use
• pack of loose leaf paper, wide ruled
• 3-ring binder (one or two inch, not too big)
• 5 tab dividers (for the binder)

      I will give them a take-home folder on the first day of school. The folder and this blog will be two vital ways that you and I keep in touch. 

      Students are encouraged to have one personal water bottle, too. 

      I'm so excited to work with your children! If you have any questions, email me at jbrammer@nlca.info or call the school office, leave a message, and I will get back with you.

      Mrs. Julia Brammer

Who is Mrs. Brammer?

       Hello, NLCA families!

      I thought my new families might want to know a little background information about me.

       I moved to Canvas, West Virginia in 2018 from Ohio.  I was raised in a small town near Steubenville, Ohio, but I earned my teaching degree from West Liberty State College (now West Liberty University) in West Virginia's northern panhandle in 1990.

       My work experience has almost always been with children. My first permanent teaching position was in third grade at Jefferson County Christian School (in Ohio) in 1994. I have also subbed in both public and private schools, been a school librarian, and most recently, collected data for a state-funded study on the effect of universal preschool in West Virginia. That last one was very valuable to me because I visited over twenty different second and third grade classes in the state!  That allowed me to glean all kinds of information about how I could better teach.

      Also, New Life Christian Academy is the fourth Christian school that I have worked for, so I try to use all that experience to help children like yours learn and thrive.

      I taught third grade here from fall of 2021 to spring of 2024.  Now, I have the blessing of returning to some of the same students I had in 2024! 

       This blog is where I'll be posting any upcoming quizzes, tests, or important events to remember.  I use it at least weekly, so please check back often!
