Dear Students,

Welcome to Team 6-4.  It’s going to be a great year.   I am Mr. Bunting and am excited to be teaching you English and Social Studies this year.  I have been teaching for more than twenty years.   I’ve been working in Newton Public Schools since 1995 and at Oak Hill Middle School since the day it opened.  I also taught in Ghana, West Africa and worked as a museum educator.

My favorite subjects in school were math and science until I reached college.  I especially liked geometry.  However, I always loved reading and I read a lot.  Two of my favorites this summer were The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall and Manhood for Amateurs by Michael  Chabon. The first was a novel about a families exciting summer adventure and the second was a book of essays. I have to be careful when I pick up a book because I get so excited about it I neglect other things I need to do.  I’m looking forward to sharing some great books with you this year.

I also love travel and meeting people from around the world.  I’ve been fortunate to visit South America, Europe and Asia as well as Africa.  A few places I still want to visit are Egypt, Israel, India and Australia.  Another thing that is important to me is my family.  I have a son who is ten and a daughter who is seven.  This summer we went to Gloucester a few times and visited the Stone Zoo and the Gilette Castle.  Another of my interests is technology because I love to see what computers and various gadgets can do.  Hopefully you saw the movie I helped make welcoming you to Team 6-4.  I’m excited to be your teacher this year and can’t wait for you to write back so I can find out more about you.

Sincerely,

Mr. Bunting

P.S.  Did you find my grammar mistake?
