| From 1-11-12 |
So far, 2012 has been a very busy year. First, thanks to parents and students who helped with the 5th and 6th grade breakfast. We raised over $500. When his child was reluctant to get up that Saturday morning, one parent reminded his daughter that the fire department would not hesitate to jump out of bed at any time of the day or night to help out.
Today, progress reports come out. If your child is struggling in any area, do not forget that individualized help is available after school. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, students also have access to transportation home.
Included in this week’s packet is some information on digital etiquette and safety. If you want more information, I recommend you check out CommonSenseMedia.org. This sight has advice on movies, video games and more.
Our class spends a lot of time on vocabulary: learning new words, building words, and using words in writing. I have added this week’s vocab lessons, examples of expected work and a class work rubric to give you a better sense of what students do.
The 6th graders are working on fraction operations. This week, they review fraction addition and subtraction and begin to explore division with fractions. In science we are studying the five major organ systems. This week we will begin to look at the digestive system.
