It's hard to believe that October is already behind us. Once again, the sixth graders reached their goal of earning 1700 Dojos as a class and as a reward they have chosen to Silly String me and Mrs. Suntken on Tuesday. We will each provide one can of Silly String but have consented to the kids can bringing in their own can if they want to add to the mess. The things we will agree to encourage positive behavior! They also chose their individual prizes that they earned today.
On Monday, we will spend the math period reviewing decimal concepts such as comparing and ordering, rounding, and estimating answers. They will then be assigned a take home quiz which is due Tuesday. The rest of the week we will work with computing with decimals. We will start with adding and subtracting and move on to multiplication by Thursday. There will be an assignment each night this week. Check planners for the specific assignment. These concepts are not hard but carelessness could be an issue!
I am very excited to read the final dialogues crafted by the sixth graders demonstrating their understanding of what life was like at Border Cave during the Old Stone Age. We will publish two--one will be a handwritten copy done in ink and finished off with an illustration (due Tuesday) and one will be done on the word processor. Both sets will be published and bound as books for all to enjoy!
Don't forget that picture retakes are on Tuesday. If your child did not have his/her picture taken in October they need to have a picture taken so they will be included on the class composite. If your child's first pictures didn't turn out well and you want to have them retaken, please be sure to send the original package with your child on Monday. Also, be sure to have them remind me that they need to have their picture taken!
Have an enjoyable weekend!
