Thank you to all of you who stopped by during conferences last
week. It was good to visit with you and update you on your child's
progress. Report cards with final grades will come out at the end of the
month.
This week the sixth graders will have their first science test, as
well as their first math test. We will review for the science test in
class on Monday, and the test will be on Tuesday. Hopefully, your sixth
grader has asked you to help them review over the weekend. Tuesday the
kids will work on completing their study guide for the math test, we will
review together as a class on Wednesday, and the test will be on Friday
(Remember there is no school on Thursday due to teacher inservice).
There
is an opportunity for your child to earn extra credit points on each test.
On Monday, I will send home a "cartoon" showing Gregor Mendel
sitting in his pea patch. To earn extra credit, your child needs to fill
in the speech balloons with something Mendel might be saying as he worked with
his peas. I'm looking for creativity, as well as knowledge of Mendel's
discoveries. The math study guide includes suggestions on how to study
for a math test. There is a place for you to write and sign a note telling
how your sixth grader prepared for the test. Both extra credit
opportunities need to be turned in with the test. I'm confident the kids
will do well on both tests. We have worked hard in both math and science
this fall!
No school Thursday, October 17th due to teacher inservice
