Parent/Teacher Conferences and Halloween

Attention Parents!!
We will be having our Halloween festival on Thursday, October 30.


Also, parent/teacher conferences have snuck up on us! As some of you know, there are sign up sheets in the main hallway near the office. Please come sign up for a time on either November 5th or 6th, I would love to see every single one of you there!

Things are going great in the classroom. Right now, we are learning a lot of neat things.... Social Studies: Ancient Egypt Science: Heat (*Solar Ovens), light, and sound Reading: We are reading (as a class) "On My Honor" Math: Fractions and Decimals Spelling: We started a new program this week, but we are taking it nice and slow. You should see a new list of words on Thursday night. Study the words with your child because on Friday, I will be testing them on 10 of those words. Thanks for all your support and help in the classroom... I really appreciate it!

Back to school night is here! It is tomorrow- Thursday, September 11 at 7:00 pm. Please come, I want to meet each of you and want you to see some of the things your child has been working on over the past few weeks.

We survived the first day! I hope each of you are clear of what is going on with our class. I know that the first of the year is hectic, but we will make it through together. I sent home several pages of important information with your child today. Please review them, sign them, and return asap. I want to remind you about the weekly reading logs. It is required that your child reads a minimun of 20 minutes per day. He/she will bring home a reading log every Monday, fill it out for the week, then return it the following Monday. Please help them accomplish this task, and remember, reading is a key to success.....I appreciate all your help! Thank you!!

Hello! This year we are excited to "dive into learning" and discover the many adventures sixth grade has to offer. We have many fun things planned for the year. Some things to look forward to are the weekly broadcasts that are created by the 6th graders, safety patrol, field trips, Valentine Dance, Friday activities, 6th grade Vs. faculty volleyball game, and of course a Shakespeare play in the Spring.

We will be studying all about space, microorganisms, ancient civilizations, geography, fractions, geometry, persuasive writing and so much more. We will be working to achieve the Presidential and National Fitness Award as well as participating in the school and district Science Fair.

I am very excited to get to know each of you. Remember to check the class blog for updates. So, here we go.... let's DIVE INTO LEARNING!
