What an awesome start to the 2013-2014 school year we had this past week. It was good to meet so many of you parents on Wednesday, and we had a great two days in the classroom on Thursday and Friday. We spent much of our time settling into the routines of sixth grade and getting better acquainted. As I said at our Back to School Conferences, please feel free to contact me at any time with questions or concerns. I cannot help to solve a problem if I am not aware of it.
We will be getting down to work this week in both Math and Social Studies. I will give you an outline of what we will be covering this week and the assignments/quizzes I have planned. Please realize these dates may change. I will try to update you with any changes via this blog, but the best way to know exactly what assignment were given each day is to check your child's planner; the planner will contain the most up to date information.
